Courses can be taken part-time while working, and can be completed in 2.5 to 5 years. Through their various course projects, Advanced Inquiry Program students hone their own focus within the program based on their personal and professional goals. To support involvement by a broad range of educators and conservation professionals by keeping the program affordable, Miami University and Woodland Park Zoo offer significantly reduced tuition and fees for all classes.
Since the program began in 2011, Woodland Park Zoo’s students and graduates have been enacting amazing environmental stewardship and social change in our communities.
