The Certificate in Sustainability Studies provides students with a vigorous, multi-disciplinary introduction to the growing discourse surrounding “sustainability” and sustainable issues. The certificate helps to establish sustainable thinking as a critical methodology which students can apply to their professional and personal lives. With businesses increasingly looking to establish more sustainable practices, a certificate of education in Sustainability Studies could prove a viable employable asset.

Students who complete the Certificate program will emerge with a greater awareness of sustainable issues and the capacity to apply sustainable thinking elsewhere in their lives. They will come to understand the world as a series of dynamic and interrelated and interdependent processes – physical and social – and begin to identify and articulate some of the challenges as well as promises of moving toward a more sustainable world.
