  New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog 2003-2005 Cook College Programs of Study Certificate Programs Social Strategies for Environmental Protection Certificate (24 credits)  

Social Strategies for Environmental Protection Certificate (24 credits)

Solving environmental problems often requires social intervention skills and not just an understanding of the biophysical environment. This certificate program is designed to give students, regardless of their major, an understanding of individual behavior, social organization and values, politics, law, and communication as these fields relate to environmental intervention. The aim is to provide action-oriented training in skills that strengthen environmental protection efforts. The program culminates in a practicum experience in which these skills are applied to an environmental issue of current concern.

The certificate is administered jointly through several departments at Cook College. For further information, contact Dr. Neil Weinstein in the Cook Office Building, Room 206 (932-9153, ext. 319), Dr. William K. Hallman, in the Cook Office Building, Room 215, 932-9153, ext. 313; or Dr. William Goldfarb in the Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences Building, Room 238, 932-1105, or neilw@aesop.rutgers.edu.
