Certificate Program in Climate and Health

Certificate Program in Climate and Health

The Certificate in Climate and Health is designed to prepare students to make strong contributions to climate change research, policy, and/or practice. Through coursework and an Integrative Learning Experience (thesis or capstone), students will develop the skills and expertise to be competitive for challenging climate-related careers and/or to pursue a doctoral degree in the field.
