Sustainable Design: Technology and Environment

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN: TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT

The Stackable Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Design: Technology and Environment is for students interested in sustainability at various scales and within a diverse set of contexts. Program participants will focus on issues of performance, primarily at the building scale - considering both technical components such as daylight modulation and thermal factors within larger systems, as well as philosophical questions about sustainability and its potential boundaries or lack thereof. Building science and phenomenological experience are both considered throughout the coursework.

The stackable graduate certificate is open to any UT Austin degree-seeking graduate student and requires three classes (nine credit hours).

IMPORTANT:

  • ONLY the ARC graduate sections of the courses listed below may fulfill the Stackable Graduate Certificate requirements.
  • Please do not register for a cross-listing in another discipline or an undergraduate section. It is not possible to count any other section toward this Stackable Graduate Certificate. 

Contact the Graduate Program Coordinator with any course registration questions or for more information.
