The Agroecology Certificate Program requires successful completion of the following three categories of coursework, with a total of 17-18 credit hours.
Student must also complete a farm-, field-or lab-based internship that may involve working on farms, carrying out agro-ecological field observations, carrying out agricultural science lab experiments, conducting geo-spatial modeling, or conducting agriculture-related socio-economic analysis. Student will produce a report based on the internship experience. Students also will have the option of doing internship or conducting agroecology science experiments at USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, Miami or other research or education institutions.
The Certificate Committee will consider other courses toward the elective requirement on a case-by-case basis. Up to two courses taken at Miami Dade College or other colleges in the relevant areas of agricultural sciences, horticulture, ecology, and environmental sciences will count toward the general agricultural/environmental science and social studies elective requirement.

Students obtaining a BS in Environmental Studies with Agri-science major [BS (Agri-science Major)] and wishing to obtain a Certificate in Agroecology must take at least two upper division courses in food, agriculture and environmental sciences or studies different from those used to satisfy the BS (Agri-science Major).
