Environmental Policy & Management Graduate Certificate

As we proceed into the 21st century, the environment represents one of the most critical issues facing nearly all nations individually as well as the earth's community as a whole. Increased population, greater consumption and diminishing resources combined with technological advances and new scientific revelations all play an important role in the study of the environment. By now, we realize that the environment is a multidisciplinary field where neither problems nor solutions honor traditional disciplinary boundaries. It is a field where information is fast flowing and technologies are rapidly evolving.

The Graduate Certificate in Environmental Policy and Management fills this need by providing a broad-based, multidisciplinary educational program to professionals, practitioners, citizens and students who wish to acquire or strengthen their knowledge of the environment. 

The Certificate is designed for
  • Environmental professionals with science and engineering degrees who wish to seek a greater understanding of the political, economic and social context in which science is applied to the real world.
  • Public administrators who are not specifically trained in the environmental field but are currently working in this area.
  • Professionals in organizations that deal, either primarily or heavily, with environmental issues.
  • Environmental professionals who wish to strengthen their managerial skills.
  • Graduate students enrolled in other disciplines who wish to make the emerging environmental field the focus of their career.
  • Undergraduate students who are not ready to pursue a graduate degree but wish to strengthen their credentials.
  • Concerned citizens who wish to pursue the satisfaction of intellectual exploration in the environmental field.
