One Health and the Environment (Certificate)



Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Graduate Programs, Certificates, Specializations, Emphases

The graduate certificate in One Health and the Environment totals 12 credits and is designed to be completed in two years. The certificate will include both a core curriculum as well as electives that will allow students to specialize in specific areas related to One Health and the Environment. The two core courses will be offered every other year, but not in the same year (e.g., INT 598 could be offered in the fall in even years and EES 598 could be offered in the fall in odd years. The timing of the elective courses is not in our control; however, there is a significant number of elective courses to choose from. In addition, courses not in the approved lists could be included as certificate electives but will need to be reviewed and approved by the program steering committee. The certificate is highly interdisciplinary as it requires students to take two electives, one in biophysical science and one in social science, relevant to One Health. Current electives are offered by the University of Maine by the following units: School of Food and Agriculture, School of Biology and Ecology, School of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Mathematics, School of Nursing, School of Forest Resources, School of Marine Science. Department of Communication and Journalism, School of Economics, Department of Anthropology, School of Social Work, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology. Other electives are taught by the School of Public Health at the University of Southern Maine.
