PROGRAM

Most human activities occur at the interface of the lithosphere, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere -  the "geoenvironment" - and exert great influence on the biosphere. The sustainability of our biosphere, therefore, requires an improved understanding of the near-surface geoenvironment. Kansas State University's Geoenvironmental Certificate Program is designed to bring such understanding through a combination of conventional and innovative approaches to research and education on this topic. The goals of the certificate program are to:

• prepare graduates for careers in geoenvironmental sciences and engineering;
• promote interdisciplinary educational experiences in geoenvironmental sciences and engineering and;
• enhance interactions among faculty and students in the allied science and engineering disciplines related to geoenvironmental sciences and engineering.

The Geoenvironmental Certificate program requires 12 credit hours of coursework, including 9 hours from three required courses and 3 hours of elective chosen from a list of approved courses. The Geoenvironmental Certificate Program is administered and coordinated by the Department of Civil Engineering.
