Graduate Certificate in Sustainability
The Graduate Certificate in Sustainability is a 15-credit, interdisciplinary program, drawing from faculty and course work across all colleges of the University of Arkansas. The graduate certificate is accessible to all students admitted to the Graduate School, both degree-seeking and non-degree seeking, to participate in an advanced study in sustainability. The purpose of the Graduate Certificate in Sustainability is to provide functional graduate-level knowledge and skills related to the emerging discipline of sustainability organized around the four interdisciplinary systems areas.
Emphasis in Electric Energy Systems
The University of Arkansas offers a specialized Emphasis in Electric Energy Systems. This program provides for students to gain expertise in sustainability planning and design of electrical systems. This is achieved through courses that emphasize design projects in three central aspects to sustainability engineering:
- Business processes and methods
- Analysis and planning of engineering projects with sustainability practices
- Design and operation of renewable electrical energy circuits and systems
Students who complete the certificate will have a broad set of skills and knowledge
for planning and implementation of engineering projects for meeting sustainability
objectives. In addition, students will acquire advanced skills in designing electrical
circuits and systems that can be applied to a variety of sustainability projects.
