Our program offers several challenging and rewarding online courses. In addition, we offer an undergraduate Fire Ecology Certificate through distance learning (see below). The NAU online courses are offered through WebCT VISTA.

The Northern Arizona University School of Forestry is a member of the Natural Resource Distance Learning Consortium. The Consortium provides upper-division undergraduate and graduate distance learning education to anyone interested in Natural Resources and managing their uses.
