Program Overview

Program Overview

The C-NSPIRE Graduate Certificate is designed for graduate students with environmental interests in engineering, sciences, and agriculture, although students in the social sciences and other disciplines may also find it valuable and are encouraged to participate.

Degree Description

The primary objective of the certificate is to provide students an interdisciplinary perspective of the science related to the global N- and C-cycles and to introduce students to public policy studies. The C and N cycles are closely coupled and associated with global sustainability issues related to climate change, air & water quality, and other environmental impacts. Given the complexities of the C and N cycles, policy solutions to mitigate the environmental impacts require an integrated management approach.
