Samford University–#1 in Alabama and #3 in the region–offers an affordable, fully online, 12-hour graduate certificate in Environmental Management to help prepare you to address important environmental issues faced by industry, nonprofits, governments and individuals. The program merges quality and convenience, and provides an opportunity for working professionals who already have a university degree to gain knowledge in the environmental field without committing to a full degree program.

Students will then have the opportunity to explore and hone their professional leadership skills within the context of their chosen areas of interest through an Environmental Leadership in Practice course. This course emphasizes effective leadership styles, communication approaches, conflict resolution and group dynamics across environmental sectors.
