Environmental Studies - Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Environmental Studies at The Citadel is a unique interdisciplinary program which brings together two academic strengths of The Citadel – a nationally-ranked Engineering program and a Biology program with several faculty specializing in ecology. The program specifically seeks to promote a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between living organisms, including humans, and the highly dynamic nature of their surrounding physical and chemical environment.

The mission of the Environmental Studies graduate certificate program is to advance the knowledge of students in a variety of broadly-based ecological and environmental topics.

This new certificate program will allow educators the opportunity to enhance their ability to teach about local and global environmental issues in the classroom. In addition, the program will provide professionals already working in business, industry, or government a more comprehensive understanding of ecological and environmental processes.
