Graduate Certificate in Contexts of Environmental Policy (STEM)

This program is offered exclusively to National Park Service (NPS) employees who have served for three years or more.

The graduate certificate in contexts of environmental policy is designed to help prepare current and future leaders who are responsible for the preservation and protection of public lands and cultural heritage. Inspired by a gift from Roger and Frances Kennedy and made possible by the Friends of Roger Kennedy, the program funds NPS students to undertake a course of study that strengthens their knowledge of the natural and cultural resources at the heart of the NPS mission. Offering a wide range of courses that contextualize environmental policy, the certificate allows both flexibility and purpose to NPS students.

This is a STEM designated program.
