The Sustainable Design Graduate Certificate focuses on the positive impact of sustainable policy, development, and planning on the built environment, natural systems, and society. The Certificate emphasizes the critical importance of developing resilient communities and cities.

Students enrolled in the Sustainable Design Graduate Certificate may use the required 3-credit hour courses and the approved focus area elective to satisfy the elective requirement in the M. Arch. Program of study.  In addition, the Thesis/PILOT topic must focus on sustainable architecture.

Applicants to the Graduate Certificate degrees are reviewed once yearly. Please submit all application materials by January 1st to be considered for the fall semester.

We will consider late applications received after these deadlines only on a space-available basis.
