Two sets of eight-week courses are being offered this fall on the topic of environmental resiliency, courses that can work toward a graduate microcertificate, certificate or a master's degree.

The Environmental Resiliency program launched in 2024 in response to a broad demand for these skills in the workforce. Students may take these courses as electives for their currently enrolled degree programs, or they can apply to become a student in the Environmental Resiliency master's program or one of eight graduate certificate and microcertificate programs. Current students can apply to these programs for free.

Courses available for the fall semester are:

First eight weeks (offered from Aug.18 - Oct. 7):

• ENRE 51203: Foundations of Resiliency
• ENRE 53103: Working with Stakeholders
• ENRE 54303: Built Environment Systems

Second eight weeks (offered from Oct. 8 - Dec. 12):

• ENRE 52203: You Cannot Manage What You Do Not Measure
• SEVI 50203: Sustainability in Business
• SUST 53003: Sustainable Global Food, Energy and Water Systems
