ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Environmental Sciences discipline offers graduate level certificates with four options--Air Quality, Environmental Health, Hazardous Waste, and Ecosystems. The options are comprised of four courses and are designed to approach an environmental issue from various disciplines. To earn a certificate, students are required to satisfactorily complete the courses in the option of their interest. These courses may be used as electives within an M.S. degree program or can be taken through non-degree admission. Students must have the prerequisites for each course and must meet the requirements listed in the NOTES below. Contact the faculty advisor for the particular option of interest before starting. A certificate will be issued upon proof of satisfactory completion of the courses. For an M.S. degree, the student must coordinate the option courses with electives in their program. This is done with the approval of the option faculty advisor and the student's advisor. M.S. students may chose one of these options or may chose their own electives with their advisor.

NOTES:
1. Many of the courses have prerequisites, student must check the catalog for prerequisite requirements for these courses. Some options have a prerequisite course requirement.
2. One course may not be used for more than one option, even if it is listed in several options. Other courses may be offered that will be acceptable as an elective with approval of the faculty advisor and the Assoc. Chair of Environmental Sciences .
3. No more than two courses may be from the any one disciplinary department, i.e., chemistry, biology, civil engineering.
4. Courses used by the student to fulfill an MSES core requirement may not be used to fulfill the option.
5. All work submitted for Environmental Sciences Certificate must have a grade of B (3.0) or better.
6. All courses for the Environmental Sciences Certificate must be completed at CU-Denver.
7. Courses counting toward a Certificate must be completed within a five year time period.
8. Courses applied to either a Certificate or an M.S. degree may later be applied toward the other if all pertinent coursework is completed within a 5 year time period.
