Minors, concentrations and certificates
Yes
Name of the graduate-level sustainability-focused minor, concentration or certificate:
Masters of Arts in Law and Diplomacy, Fletcher School (International Environment and Resource Policy concentration)
A brief description of the graduate minor, concentration or certificate:
MALD students choose two concentrations from an array of 24 fields of study, one of which is International Environment & Resource Policy. The program demonstrates how environment and resource issues are integral to the ongoing economic development process and are critical to the security of societies. The role of science in developing sound policies is emphasized, as is the role of technology choice and the policies that influence them. Clashes such as those that occur between trade and environmental treaty regimes, forest protection and sovereignty and between developed and developing countries create new challenges for international diplomacy. The program emphasizes the need to utilize multiple disciplinary tools from science, economics, politics, law and engineering in developing sustainable solutions. The International Environment and Resource Policy field of study requires the completion of a minimum of four course credits.
The International Environment and Resource Policy field of study requires the completion of a minimum of three course credits. A list of applicable courses can be found here: http://fletcher.tufts.edu/Academic/Courses/Fields-of-Study/International-Environment-and-Resource-Policy

Certificate in Water: Systems, Science and Society
None
A brief description of the graduate minor, concentration or certificate (3rd program):
This unique certificate program has three goals: (1) To develop research projects that will make significant local, national, and global contributions; (2) To educate a diverse, ethical, skilled set of professionals who are trained to be multidisciplinary even as they develop a specialization; and (3) To meet the growing global demand for interdisciplinary water experts. By meeting these goals, Tufts and WSSS graduates will be uniquely equipped to develop integrated, interdisciplinary solutions to the complex science, public health, economic, engineering, environmental, behavioral, planning, and policy issues surrounding U.S. and international water crises.
