Why pursue this certificate?
Meet with your advisor, Mackenzie Beko!
- Students across the University of Utah are concerned with (in)justices that intersect with sustainability, climate change, and other environmental issues. The Environmental Humanities and Transformative Justice Certificate supports students in the exploration of a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives on social dimensions of environmental issues and equips them with action-oriented leadership, communication, and social advocacy skills with which they can address complex social and environmental challenges.
- With its emphasis on interdisciplinarity and practical application, the Certificate equips students with collaboration, critical evaluation, problem-solving, and relationship skills that complement careers in a wide range of fields. Students will also work in community settings where they can apply, practice, and reflect on those skills in real-world situations. Ultimately, the breadth of interdisciplinary knowledge and the skills-based projects will prepare students for various forms of environmental and social engagement, advocacy, and activism.
- Upon graduation, students receive a separate diploma for completing the Certificate requirements. A designation will also appear on the student’s transcript.
