Green Building Certificate Program
About The Program
This Certificate Program is designed with the working professional in mind. It has been streamlined to enable completion within a six-month period, while still focused on developing the understanding necessary to enable sustainable building decision making within a corporate, institutional, non-profit, municipal, or individual setting. Graduates of this program will be able to work with the owners, project managers, architects, engineers, builders, and subcontractors for a project to facilitate Green Building decision making, and to set out, monitor, and fulfill attainable objectives. The program has been revised into four curriculum sections that will delve, with great depth, into a variety of relevant topics in both classroom and field trip settings. All courses are open for enrollment to students not pursuing the full certificate program.
