We are pausing admissions to this program while faculty engage in a comprehensive redesign of the curriculum. We continue to offer courses in this area of study and encourage you to explore them on our website.
The graduate certificate in Sustainability Strategies prepares students to play a crucial role within organizations by implementing, promoting, and monitoring environmental strategies. You learn to integrate sustainability strategies based on environmental justice and social transformation in the professional fields of governance, management, social mobilization, planning, and development.
The certificate curriculum prepares students to pose challenges and create alternatives that address the social and environmental injustices at the root of our planetary crises. Students develop real-world applied skills through direct interaction with faculty practitioners at the top of their fields and engagement in client-based projects.
Graduates of the certificate program take on multifaceted roles in management, consulting, operations, design, corporate sustainability, and public policy.
