Lecturer Anne Marie C. Desmarais, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Environmental managers in industry, government, and consulting know that the new century brings with it challenges and opportunities in environmental management and compliance. Complex regulations, environmental technologies, international environmental treaties, and multinational corporate environmental programs will determine the direction that environmental managers must take. The certificate in environmental management provides students with the tools and techniques to understand the complex issues of future environmental management.
The program blends courses in fundamentals such as regulations and compliance issues with leading-edge concepts in life-cycle analysis, risk management, and remediation technologies. Students select courses from regular Tufts' graduate offerings and may choose to focus their coursework in environmental technology, health, or policy.
The program is open to students with a bachelor's degree; undergraduate course work in natural or physical science, mathematics, or engineering; two years of work experience; and some knowledge of current environmental issues.
This five-course, graduate-level certificate, offered in collaboration with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies, is designed to be pursued on a part-time basis by professionals seeking advanced training in this area or preparing to enter a master's degree program. In most cases, courses taken as a certificate student can be transferred into a Tufts degree program.
