Online Professional Graduate Certificates
Auburn University online graduate certificate programs can allow further specialization or contribute towards the advancement of one’s career. Rather than enrolling in a second degree program, professionals may opt to pursue a graduate certificate or decide to eventually apply the course credit to a graduate degree.
Earning a graduate certificate often takes less time and is more affordable than pursuing a traditional graduate program. And because classes are online, students can complete courses at a time that is convenient for them, allowing them to fit coursework into their busy schedules for work, family, and other priorities that are important to non-traditional students and working professionals.
We currently offer graduate certificate programs in Environmental Law, Forest Finance and Investment, One Health, and Restoration Ecology.
Environmental Law
To successfully navigate—and influence—the use, management, and protection of the environment and its natural resources, a solid understanding of environmental law and regulations is essential. The Environmental Law graduate certificate was created to equip professionals with a deeper understanding of environmental laws, their requirements, enforcement mechanisms, and the policies that shape them.
Forest Finance & Investment
The Forest Finance and Investment online graduate certificate program prepares professionals with the ability to understand and assimilate complex environmental and societal change within their financial and operational decision-making to best manage and leverage forest assets to become more competitive in the job market or operate their businesses more successfully.
One Health
The One Health online graduate certificate program will prepare you to educate and inform people about the ‘One Health’ concept and the health-related interactions and processes among people, animals, and the environment that have profound influences on disease risk, transmission, and prediction efforts.
Restoration Ecology
Whether you work in the area of natural resource management, forest and wildlife management, restoration ecology, environmental sciences and consulting, fire ecology, or environmental education, the Restoration Ecology graduate certificate can complement your professional skills or position you to transition to other opportunities, including graduate school.
