A brief description of the graduate-level degree program:
Environmental and Ecological Engineering empowers students to serve people and the planet. We prepare graduates for work in academia, industry, consulting, and government, with responsibility ranging from the design of drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, to improving air quality, to fostering sustainable development, and to developing sustainable technologies that conserve natural resources. In 2008 the National Academy of Engineering announced 14 “Grand Challenges of Engineering.” Of these 14 Grand Challenges, 6 are very much related to global environmental issues.

Name of the graduate-level sustainability-focused minor, concentration or certificate:
A brief description of the graduate minor, concentration or certificate:
The Environmental Policy Graduate Certificate seeks to impart some knowledge of the context, content, and methods required for meaningful policy analysis in the area of environmental policy.
Professionals and researchers working on environmental challenges often must work closely with policymakers or the policy process. Because of this, various public and private employers often seek scientists and researchers with some familiarity with the policy-making process.
To meet this need, the Department of Political Science offers a graduate certificate in Environmental Policy to current Purdue graduate students who wish to add an interdisciplinary credential in environmental policy to their degree. Students in the certificate program gain a basic understanding of the environmental policy process as part of their graduate study.
This certificate is offered at the graduate level only, not the post-baccalaureate level.
