The Environmental Management Certificate program provides students with the tools and techniques they need to understand the complex regulations, environmental treaties, and multinational corporate programs that will determine future environmental management strategies.
The certificate program 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, 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.
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.
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 graduate with the skills needed to understand the complex issues of future environmental management, or to pursue advanced graduate study in environmental health and civil and environmental engineering.
We recognize that attending graduate school involves a significant financial investment. Our team is here to answer your questions about tuition rates and scholarship opportunities.
