Environmental Management

Complex regulations, environmental treaties, and multinational corporate environmental programs will determine how environmental managers approach their roles in the future. The Environmental Management Certificate program provides students with the tools and techniques they need to understand the complex issues of future environmental management.

Environmental Management (certificate)

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, including one course in each of three focus areas: environmental engineering and technology, environmental health, and policy. The two remaining courses can be selected from any of the focus areas.

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, mathematics, or engineering.

Students interested in earning a graduate degree can often apply all credits earned in the Certificate program toward a Tufts Master of Science degree in the Environmental Health or the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering tracks in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
