The Environmental Communication certificate provides a useful credential for students who seek careers in community outreach, public information, journalism, strategic communication or public advocacy through the filter of environmental science and sustainability. Students who complete the certificate’s requirements will enhance their skills in content, strategy and institutional communication relevant to current practice for environmentally grounded organizations and publishers, synthesized with social and scientific context via Environmental Science, Sustainability, and other SOU programs. This certificate is designed to be an attractive option for SOU students seeking B.A. or B.S. degrees in multiple disciplines, and also a viable standalone credential for enrollees seeking only the 36-credit certificate.
