A brief description of the certificate program:
Currently, there is not a certificate program for sustainability, but OCU does offer many non-credit/certification continuing education opportunities such as lectures and conferences (Peace, Poverty, and Planet Earth held July 12-14, 2010; Live Earth ECO Summit held March 31, 2010). In the five years of continuing education programs at the Wimberly School of Religion, there were roughly 2 or 3 sustainability-related lectures or workshops.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Karen Dickerson, the Associate Director of the School of Adult and Continuing Education, was reporting on the Fall 2010 term. According to the course schedule for Adult Studies and Continuing Education there is a course that is supposed to be taught by J. Nail on Energy & Environment, but that is the only course in a sustainability-related field. There is no way of knowing if that course will actually be filled with enough students.
