UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS-EL PASO (UTEP) INTRODUCES NEW MASTER'S DEGREE IN
COMMUNICATIONS FOR
CONSERVATIONISTS - IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL
NON-PROFIT 'RARE'
The collaboration between University of Texas-El Paso and RARE is the
first of its kind. Coordinated out of the Sam Donaldson Center for
Communication Studies at UTEP, conservationists who enroll in the
Rare/UTEP M.A. program tackle real issues harming the environment,
like illegal bush-meat hunting and dynamite fishing. The
conservationists learn social marketing tools aimed to engage the
community to combat and change destructive practices.
Conservation practitioners earn an M.A. in Communication. Administered
by regional university partners in four languages, and globally
accredited by UTEP, the degree is awarded to Pride campaign managers
who complete all coursework, as well as implement a successful 2-year
Pride campaign at their site.
Pride campaign managers do not simply study social change theory in
the classroom. The majority of Rare's training takes place in the
field where campaign managers complete the toughest assignment
possible - applying theory to real people in their communities. They
do not graduate until they've made a difference in the way people
think about and practice conservation in their small, but important
corner of the world.
This is not easy! So, in addition to 17 weeks of classroom training,
each campaign manager receives a dedicated Rare Pride Program Manager
for two years; support from technical experts at problem-solving
workshops and online forums throughout the campaign; visits to his or
her site by Rare alumni mentors and staff; and tailored supplemental
reading and guest lecturers during return trips to the university.
