Graduate and Professional Training Courses

The National Zoo is dedicated to furthering the education of current and
future conservation professionals, including graduate students,
scientists, resource managers, educators, industry representatives and
staff of government and non-government organizations. Smithsonian staff
and research associates have offered training courses on a variety of
topics for over three decades. Building on the world-renowned training
courses of the Smithsonian, new opportunities for graduates and
professionals are now being offered. 

In collaboration with George Mason University, many of our courses are
offered for either non-credit continuing education or for graduate
credit. A graduate certificate is also offered for participants who take
a series of required and elective courses.
