The goal of the Sustainable Cities Certificate - A New Undergraduate Accreditation Program for Aspiring Pracademics and Urban Sustainability Professionals is to create an undergraduate certificate that helps students from various majors such as engineering, planning, architecture, forestry, and geography to work across disciplines and prepare for careers in fields like urban planning, urban hydrology, city forestry, and transportation engineering. It will focus on core sustainability principles, creating pracademics who apply scientific knowledge to urban solutions.
Hear from Dr. James Connolly, Assistant Professor at UBC SCARP, as he discusses the importance of breadth and depth – and how a new Urban Sustainability Certificate at UBC will work across faculties to bring breadth to students’ focused studies.
