Transcription

1 al Studies, Certificate ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, CERTIFICATE WHY CHOOSE AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CERTIFICATE? The al Studies Certificate Program allows undergraduate students at UW Madison to explore the environmental intersections that complement their major, but with fewer curricular requirements than the major. Students completing the certificate also benefit from participation in the Nelson academic community and gain invaluable access to a network of multidisciplinary problem-solving colleagues. The certificate program is available only to UW Madison students pursuing a bachelor's degree through the university's regular academic departments. Completion of the certificate program is noted on a student s academic transcript.
