Two elective courses are required for award of the River Restoration Professional Certificate, in addition to the required five core courses.

We encourage participants in the RRPCP to select elective courses outside their existing discipline area, as a means of broadening awareness and knowledge of the various roles on an integrated restoration team. However, we recognize that ongoing professional development may require participants to seek courses that provide additional information and techniques relevant to their area of expertise.

PSU will offer a selection of qualifying electives throughout the year, but will accept qualifying credits from other institutions or professional associations.

In order to meet the elective requirement for the RRPCP, each elective course must be at least one day in duration and must relate in a direct way to the practice of river restoration.
