As our natural resources become increasingly scarce and our natural environment continues to decline, it is imperative to prepare professionals who are equipped to make a difference in the management and protection of natural resources, as well as in promoting environmental quality and sustainability. Environmental management is an interdisciplinary field that combines science, business and law. The integration of knowledge in the science, policy and management aspects of the impact of human societies on the environment will equip working professionals with the tools necessary to develop and assess programs that will regulate and protect the health of our world.
The certificate in integrative studies with a focus in environmental management is part of SIUE's integrative studies program. Please visit the integrative studies graduate program website to find additional opportunities or to learn about designing your own graduate degree.
