Graduate Certificate Programs
In addition to our regular degree programs, our department offers two transcripted graduate certificate programs.
The Graduate Certificate in One Health
This certificate program emphasizes the linkages and integration between human, animal, and environmental health. Specific areas of emphasis include zoonotic diseases, the human animal bond, integrated approaches to human, animal, and environmental risk and outcome data, and human animal medicine (including clinical comparative medicine). The Graduate Certificate in One Health is intended to enhance the education of current UW graduate students and professional students beyond their regular course of study. The program requires a minimum of 15 credits of coursework and includes a capstone project. More information about this certificate program can be found here.
The Graduate Certificate in Climate Change and Health
This 15-credit certificate program explores how human activity is driving global environmental changes, including climate change, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss, nitrogen fertilization, and ocean acidification. Students in this certificate program will be introduced to these changes and their consequences for human health and well-being, with a focus on climate change and its consequences. The curriculum includes required courses in climate change and health and climate science; at least two electives outside the student’s primary discipline; and a capstone experience tailored to the student’s interests.The Capstone Experience provides a mentored opportunity to explore a climate and health topic more deeply and experience an interdisciplinary approach to the characterization or management of a climate and health concern. The program is open to current students in any UW graduate program. More information about this certificate program can be found here.
