The Department of Human Ecology
coordinates an interdisciplinary graduate certificate on human dimensions of
environmental change. The program is open to any student enrolled in a Rutgers
University graduate program. The certificate program represents a collaboration
among faculty from several graduate programs, and allows students to examine
political, cultural, economic, historical, and other human dimensions of
environmental change while carrying out studies in an existing graduate
program. The certificate is designed to help students access theoretical
perspectives, skills, and other resources provided by various programs and
departments at Rutgers while simultaneously creating spaces for
interdisciplinary interaction.
To receive the certificate, students must
complete (in addition to requirements in their major), one course outside their
major with a focus on environmental change. Students must also complete the two
seminars described in the Graduate Courses section.
