Environmentalists and concerned citizens alike face the challenge of keeping pace with politically and technically complex issues. The growing sophistication of the environmental movement brings new demands to link conservation and preservation, environmental justice, and safety and health in the workplace and community.
The certificate in Community Environmental Studies (CES) provides professional training for careers in today's rapidly evolving environmental field. CES's interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to clarify career goals for those who may be considering environmental work, as well as to enhance the skills of professionals already in the field. The certificate is offered in collaboration with the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning and the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies.
The certificate requires the completion of four courses in such varied subjects as land planning, environmental policy, mediation, law, and economics.
The program is open to individuals with a bachelor's degree and is especially appropriate for people in community and environmental organizations who want to increase their expertise about issues and methods, midcareer professionals who want to apply their skills to environmental work, and business people working with communities around environmental issues.
