This certificate focuses on global community challenges as we face a population predicted to exceed nine billion people by the year 2050. The program empowers students to take action in addressing the unstructured, complex and adaptive world challenges in sustainable development and food security.
Because the issues we face are radically different than the issues addressed by traditional educational models, this program is outside of the normal bounds of a disciplinary degree or a semester-long course. Students earning the certificate will be engaged in high level, complex problem solving which will create a strong professional foundation for success in a variety of fields.
