Environmental sustainability challenges are inherently complex and multidisciplinary and will require a workforce capable of collaborating across interdisciplinary teams. Thus, it is critical that the next generation of sustainability scientists and engineers receive broad, interdisciplinary training so that they are better prepared to address these complex challenges. This certificate will provide social science and engineering students with fundamental training in sustainability science.
