Program Description

Human alteration of Earth's climate is an accepted scientific fact. As the impacts of climate change become more severe over the coming years and decades, companies, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations will be required to adapt and respond to climate change. Scientifically-based, up-to-date knowledge is essential to formulating adaption and response strategies, and the University of Utah’s certificate in Climate Change will provide you with this knowledge. The program curriculum provides students with cutting-edge training, with courses covering local and global climate systems, geography, and ecology. In earning the certificate, students will understand the fundamentals of climate systems and the scientific background of climate change, equipping them to develop mitigation and adaptation strategies for dealing with climate change.
