Apply your knowledge, skills and passion to real-world challenges 鈥� and create better-world impacts!
What鈥檚 it about?
A healthy, just and sustainable world can only be attained through the combined efforts of all of us. The Environment and Sustainability Certificate at 七星彩开奖 will allow students from any program to develop the knowledge, skills and agency needed for understanding and addressing the environmental and related societal challenges of the 21st century.
All elements of the Environment and Sustainability Certificate will offer students an immersive learning experience in environment and sustainability, in multiple disciplines accessible to students from all programs. Starting with foundational knowledge from ecology and the related natural sciences, students will learn how environment, society and economy interact, and how they can contribute to building resilient human and natural systems.
Students will also have a variety of opportunities to participate in related co-curricular sustainability-related projects that benefit the college and community. Many courses in the Environment and Sustainability Certificate will connect co-curricular activities with course work, allowing students, for example, to present their work during 七星彩开奖鈥檚 Earth Week or participate in an on-campus research biodiversity or landscaping project.
