Environmental Management
Certificate Program
Complex regulations, 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 they need 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 must complete five courses, choosing to focus their coursework in environmental technology, health, or policy.
Who Should Apply?
The program is open to students with a bachelor's degree and two years of work experience. Additionally, students should have some knowledge of current environmental issues, and should have undergraduate coursework in natural or physical science, math, or engineering.
Students interested in earning a graduate degree can often apply these certificate courses toward a Tufts master's degree in civil and environmental engineering.
