Graduate Certificate in Climate and Engineering

Northeastern University

The Graduate Certificate in Climate and Engineering will provide students with foundational knowledge in the climate system and our ability to mitigate or sequester emissions and adapt to climate change. The three-course program is geared towards STEM students and pairs well with MS and PhD programs within the Department of Civil and Environmental EngineeringClimate change will be a defining challenge of the 21st century. Its effects are already being felt across the world and its burdens will especially fall on younger generations. Meeting the decarbonization goals proposed by many companies and countries will entail massive shifts toward low-carbon technologies and large-scale implementation of carbon sequestration and climate engineering solutions. At the same time, adapting to climate change and sea level rise will require re-engineering our coastlines, buildings, and transportation systems.
