For Students
As career opportunities in sustainability and other 'green' fields continue to grow, students are seeking quality information that can lend to their future successes. Give them what they want by offering courses in sustainability as part of their degree or certificate. "Students are really interested in sustainability and thinking about the environment in terms of a future career," says Stephanie Pfirman, president of the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors. "It used to be jobs versus environment. Now it's jobs and environment."
The only certificate in sustainability
Students, educators, and staff can set themselves apart by demonstrating expertise in, and commitment to, sustainability concepts with a Certificate in Sustainability Concepts from the Institute. The only certificate program in sustainability, each is comprised of online, on-demand education that provides big picture analysis and local application of important concepts to foster awareness and enthusiasm for sustainability.
