These are self-paced, continuous enrollment courses offered through the UM Wilderness Institute.
This course is designed to assist individuals charged with approving Minimum Requirements Analyses (MRAs). The stories and case studies presented in this course are based on real cases and real MRAs. By examining these scenarios alongside other course content, you will be prepared to make well-informed decisions that minimize negative impacts to wilderness character as required by the Wilderness Act of 1964.
Although your context might not exactly match the stories and case studies that are presented in this course, the scenarios are intended to simulate the complexity of situations you might encounter and to provide a context for trying out the concepts you will learn.
After completing this course, learners should be able to:
- Define "minimum requirements."
- Identify the benefits to using the Minimum Requirements Analysis (MRA) process and the Minimum Requirements Analysis Framework (MRAF).
- Explain the circumstances under which MRA is to be made.
- Describe the MRA process.
- Evaluate an MRA using the MRAF.
After completing all course content and activities, you will complete a final quiz to demonstrate your understanding of key course concepts. Upon successful completion of the quiz, you will be awarded a certificate of completion.
