Interdisciplinary Certificate in Environment, Policy, and SocietyThe Graduate Certificate Program in Environment, Policy, and Society provides an interdisciplinary specialization for students in MA, PhD, and JD programs at CU-Boulder. Environmental issues -- water policy, wilderness protection, air quality, energy development, and global climate change -- transcend ordinary academic boundaries. Policy analyses to deal with these problems must integrate insights and information from many different disciplines. The Graduate Certificate program draws on courses in Anthropology, Biology, Economics, Geography, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, the College of Architecture and Planning, the College of Business, the College of Engineering, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and the School of Law.

Certificate in Science and Technology Policy Society has a growing need for expertise in science and technology policy. The Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Policy at the University of Colorado-Boulder, which is being offered in a parallel form at the Colorado School of Mines, is a rigorous educational program to prepare students pursuing graduate degrees for careers at the interface of science, technology, and decision making. Students enrolled receive either a Masters or PhD in their department and a certificate in science and technology policy. Upon completion of the Certificate Program, students will have attained a measure of understanding of the broad societal context of science and technology as well as an introduction to methodologies of policy analysis that are used in decision settings related to science and technology. For more information contact Ami Nacu-Schmidt. |

Certificate in Culture, Language and Social Practice (CLASP) The Graduate Certificate Program in Culture, Language, and Social Practice (CLASP) is an interdisciplinary course of study designed to complement the MA or PhD curriculum required by a student’s home department. The Certificate Program provides graduate students with the opportunity to pursue the study of language and society from an interdisciplinary perspective, acquiring a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to the sociocultural analysis of language. The traditions of socially oriented language research addressed in CLASP-approved courses reflect the diversity of its 23 affiliated faculty members. These traditions include the sociology of language, linguistic anthropology, narrative studies, philosophy of language, symbolic interactionism, rhetoric, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, language and cognition, conversation analysis, ethnography of speaking, intercultural communication, second language acquisition, language and literacy, bilingualism and code-switching, and varied forms of socially oriented discourse analysis. Program director: Kira Hall, Department of Linguistics, Campus Box 295. |

Certificate in Development Studies The Geography Department offers an interdisciplinary graduate certificate in development studies. Development Studies is a well-established, interdisciplinary field of research with institutional centers at a number of major universities and several scholarly journals dedicated to its study. The certificate provides interdisciplinary training in development studies to graduate students through a structured yet flexible program built around courses taught by CU faculty in a number of social science departments. Because development issues such as agrarian change, labor migration, new social movements, industrial growth, urban planning, and natural resource use cut across disciplinary divides, the study of development demands interdisciplinary approaches. Currently enrolled graduate students at CU and non-degree seeking ACCESS students with bachelor's degrees may pursue the Development Studies certificate by satisfactorily completing the four required courses. Steering Committee faculty in Anthropology: Terry McCabe Affiliated faculty in Anthropology: Donna Goldstein, Kaifa Roland, Carla Jones, Jennifer Shannon |

From the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences http://colorado.edu/aerospace/RemoteSensingCertificate.html Remote sensing (satellite and ground-based) is increasingly being used as a technique to probe the Earth's atmosphere, ocean and land surfaces. Probing of other planets is accomplished largely by satellite remote sensing. Given national priorities in such areas as climate and global change, the interest in remote sensing will only increase with time. Letters to the Remote Sensing Graduate Committee should be sent to the Remote Sensing Graduate Chairman: Prof. Bill Emery 431 UCB Phone 303/492-8591 Email: emery@colorado.edu In Anthropology, contact Professor Payson Sheets |
