Program Description

The Stevens graduate certificate in Environmental Management equips students and professionals with tools and knowledge to manage environmental problems routinely faced by government, industry, and community organizations.

With skills in technical problem-solving, scientific and policy communications, teamwork, and project management, graduates of this certificate program are expected to avail environmental management-related employment opportunities associated with their primary field of academic preparation. Environmental management jobs are currently in abundance in the tristate area because of the extensive nature of environmental degradation caused by the various industries that indiscriminately polluted the local environment for many decades, resulting in the largest concentration of superfund sites per unit area in the entire nation.

Graduates of the program will have the ability to analyze environmental management problems that are routinely faced by government, industry, and community organizations, which require a thorough understanding of the complex interrelationships between science, policy, and management.

Admission Criteria

Admission into the certificate program in Environmental Management requires an undergraduate degree in science, engineering, architecture, planning, business, social science, communications, law, policy, or any other relevant discipline with a grade point average of "B" or better from an accredited college or university.

Target Audience

This certificate is a good option for:

• Early-career professionals in environmental fields who want formal training for career advancement.
• Those wishing to make a career change from any other field to environmental management.
• Students interested in learning more about the environmental aspects of sustainability but who do not wish to pursue the 30-credit Stevens Master's degree in Sustainability Management.
• Upperclassmen at Stevens Institute of Technology with interest in environmental management, with approval of the program director.
