Environmental Studies
Graduate Certificate
(Minimum of 12 credits required)
Program coordinator:
Stacey Balkan, Associate Professor, English & Environmental Humanities
The Graduate Certificate in Environmental Studies introduces students to the intersecting fields of Environmental and Climate Science, Environmental Humanities (inclusive of Literature, Languages, and Linguistics) and Environmental Social Science (inclusive of Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, History, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies). Careers in Environmental Journalism, Environmental Consulting, Climate Change Mitigation, and Postsecondary Education in Environmental Humanities and Environmental Studies require interdisciplinary study across the Humanities, Geosciences, and Social Sciences; and the expanding academic disciplines of Environmental and Energy Humanities, which recognize that our environmental dilemmas are fundamentally problems of ethics and political power, demand fluency in these expanding fields of study.
The graduate certificate in Environmental Studies provides an academic forum for understanding environmental issues in their historical and material contexts. Students may earn this certificate by completing 12 credits (four courses) in relevant disciplines.
Admission to this certificate program is open to students currently enrolled in graduate programs at Florida Atlantic University as well as to non-degree seeking students. For degree-seeking students, credits earned for graduate degree programs may also count for the certificate if approved by advisors in both programs. Applications for the Graduate Certificate should be submitted to the Coordinator of the Environmental Studies Certificate Program upon successful completion of the required courses with a minimum grade of “B” in each course.

SPOT is an anonymous and effective tool given at the end of each semester to help evaluate the quality of instruction and improve the university’s education standards.
Please keep in mind that SPOTs are an extremely effective tool to evaluate the quality of instruction. Departments, schools, and colleges use individual instructor data and comments in annual evaluations, as well as for tenure and promotion. SPOT results are presented to the faculty in summary form after the end of the semester. Individual SPOT responses are completely anonymous and remain anonymous. The faculty has no way of linking a SPOT to a particular student.
