The Undergraduate Certificate in Environmental Management is open to all enrolled undergraduate students at George Mason University and should be of interest to students wishing to pursue graduate work or seeking employment in the environmental field. Experience with similar programs across the nation indicates that it could make the student’s undergraduate degree more marketable.

The program consists of a minimum of 27 hours of coursework, many of which can be counted, with appropriate planning, towards the fulfillment of B.S. or B.A. requirements in Biology, Geography and Earth Systems Science, Urban Systems Engineering, and other natural and social sciences. The curriculum is designed to provide a substantial appreciation of the biological, physical, and social aspects of environmental problems and methods for their analysis and resolution. The certificate is a separate diploma, and is recorded on the student’s official academic transcript.
