Many University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) students take advantage of U-M's other high-quality academic programs and interdisciplinary resources to pursue a graduate certificate. 

Graduate certificate programs allow students to design courses of study that integrate multiple fields of interest. These programs provide the opportunity to hone a specialized skill set to complement the regular master’s degree program of study. 

SEAS offers five graduate certificates:

  • Graduate Certificate Program in Environmental Justice
  • Graduate Certificate Program in Industrial Ecology
  • Graduate Certificate Program in Spatial Analysis
  • Graduate Certificate Program in Sustainability
  • Graduate Certificate in Climate Change Solutions

Requirements:

All certificate programs can be pursued by current University of Michigan graduate students in conjunction with a degree-seeking program. Credit-hour requirements can be reduced when enrolled concurrently in a Rackham graduate degree program by one-sixth of the number of required hours for the degree program. For example, students may integrate the 15-credit-hour program in Industrial Ecology certificate with a 42-credit-hour MS program (totaling 57 credit hours) into a 51-credit-hour program, with six credits double-counted.

You must be enrolled in a Master's or PhD degree program at the University of Michigan to be eligible to apply.

Rackham does allow some double-counting between two degrees.  You can double count up to 1/6 of the total of two programs but no more than half of the certificate credit requirements.

Please be aware that the Sustainability Graduate Certificate is also an in-person free-standing certificate open to anyone who has earned a post-baccalaureate degree within the previous five years.
