The program consists of a minimum of 27 hours of coursework, many of which could be counted, with appropriate planning, towards the fulfillment of BS or BA requirements. The curriculum is designed to provoke a substantive appreciation of the biological, physical and social aspects of environmental problems and methods for their analysis and resolution. The certificate is a separate diploma, and is recorded on the student's official academic transcript. It should be of particular interest to students wishing to pursue graduate work or seeking employment in the environmental field. Experience with other similar programs across the country indicates that it could make the student's degree more marketable.
All majors are eligible to enroll.
