Meet with your advisor, Brenna Coleman!
- Students across the University of Utah are concerned with (in)justices that intersect with sustainability, climate change, and other environmental issues. This 21-credit certificate supports students in the exploration of a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives on social dimensions of environmental issues and equips them with action-oriented leadership, communication, and social advocacy skills they can use to address complex social and environmental challenges.
- With its emphasis on interdisciplinarity and practical application, the certificate equips students with collaboration, critical evaluation, problem-solving, and relationship skills that complement careers in a wide range of fields.
- Students will work in community settings where they can apply, practice, and reflect on those skills in real-world situations. Ultimately, the breadth of interdisciplinary knowledge and the skills-based projects will prepare students for various forms of environmental and social engagement, advocacy, and activism.
- Upon graduation, students receive a separate diploma for completing the certificate requirements, and will see a designation on their transcripts.
