A brief description of the certificate program(s), including the year the program was created:
Next-Generation Transportation Certificate
SFU's new online Certificate in Next-Generation Transportation is designed to help mid-career professionals use next-generation transportation strategies to advance livable and sustainable cities of the future. We'll emphasize case studies from around the world with policies and practices that resolve conflicts and explore trade-offs between different modes of transportation. See: http://www.sfu.ca/continuing-studies/programs/certificate-in-next-generation-transportation/why-this-program.html
Social Innovation Certificate
Social innovation refers to a rapidly growing array of new techniques and methods for unleashing solutions to today’s deeply rooted social, ecological and psycho-cultural challenges. The goals of social innovation can range from breaking down silos by linking new people and organizations together, to scaling a successful social enterprise, or implementing new policy ideas and collaborations. In effect, social innovation is a “big tent” containing practices and thinking that support individuals and organizations tackling complex social issues.

Evaluation for Social Change and Transformational Learning Certificate
Our new part-time certificate addresses key and emerging critical issues in the field, including grounding program evaluation in complexity science and systems thinking. The program fosters multiple, diverse ways of knowing, and situates Indigenous knowledge systems on par with dominant western paradigms and scientific methods.
Through a blend of face-to-face and online modules, our Evaluation for Social Change and Transformational Learning Certificate will help you to design transformative, culturally responsive evaluation processes that facilitate and support change and learning.
