Program Title

Certificate in Agroecology

The Undergraduate Certificate in Agroecology is an interdisciplinary program aimed at providing students with an opportunity to learn about problems and issues that emerge from the interface between agriculture, natural ecosystems, and urban areas. Students will gain an appreciation of how traditional agricultural production systems influence the quality of natural ecosystems and human environment, and also how human-caused environmental changes and urban development pressures affect agriculture. The program will emphasize natural and economic services that are provided by large agricultural areas interspersed between urban and natural areas. Students will learn structural changes that are necessary within agriculture to make it ecologically sustainable, and community supported. The program includes farm- and field-level experiential learning through internships, field demonstrations and minor experiments. This certificate program is open to degree-seeking students only.
