Department of Environmental Science and Ecology
The purpose of the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Science is a 15-hour certificate designed to meet the needs of prospective students interested in developing skills in environmental science. The purpose of this certificate is to provide professionals who already have undergraduate degrees with graduate instruction in environmental science as a means to maintaining and promoting their professional development. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary subject; therefore the certificate program is designed to provide graduates with coursework in environmental science in appropriate areas outside of their undergraduate major. The certificate provides students with a post-baccalaureate educational opportunity that is narrower in scope and shorter in duration than its associated master’s graduate degree program in the Environmental Science Academic Programs.
