The certificate requires eighteen credits of interdisciplinary courses. This certificate will appeal to an interdisciplinary graduate student population at FIU drawing students from Arts and Sciences, as well as other schools and colleges (as reflected in the requirements below). In particular, the certificate will aid students interested in natural resource management and conservation, regional and urban planning, as well as domestic and international development and policy issues.
