Sustainability planning is an increasing need in the marketplace.

The four courses in this certificate provide opportunities for students to acquire skills in on-the-ground communication; policy analysis; research methods; risk assessment; sustainability metrics, tracking, and reporting; sustainability philosophies and techniques; and more. Applying what they’ve learned in the field, students also are encouraged to pursue hands-on experiences through internships or independent research projects.
