Education

From university study to work in the field.

CURE connected degree programs, independent research and professional short courses around the challenges of restoring urban land.

01

Graduate study

The Center’s overview directed prospective M.S. and Ph.D. students to Rutgers University’s Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolution, which brought together faculty, field stations and research opportunities across ecological scales.

02

Undergraduate study

Students could pursue restoration questions through ecology and evolution, natural resource management, environmental studies and biology, including independent and honours work in field-based sciences.

03

Professional and public learning

Short courses ranged from intensive two-day workshops for land managers and landscape designers to longer programs combining classroom instruction with field observation.

Recovered course records

The surviving pages document programs on native meadow restoration, invasive plant ecology and control, woodland restoration, urban wetlands and stream restoration. Their descriptions capture the applied questions practitioners were confronting in 2002.
