The development and implementation of sustainable solutions depends on the development of core sustainability competencies, effective collaboration and inspiring leadership. The graduate certificate program in sustainability provides you with the foundational knowledge required to promote sustainable solutions in any professional field. The skills developed in this program, like systems thinking and futures thinking, are essential to addressing sustainability challenges across many kinds of organizations. You learn to communicate and collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds, preparing you to lead teams in the future. Courses introduce you to the foundations of sustainability through a disciplinary overview and problem-solving methodology. With electives, you can explore specific areas that are of greatest interest to you. In the online graduate certificate program, you can take courses from the Master of Sustainability Leadership degree. Classes in that program focus on leadership, communication, sustainability strategy and enterprise sustainability. This program is designed to be taken independently or as a supplement to another graduate degree program. If done independently, a graduate certificate doesn't meet the requirements for a student visa.
