How to Apply
While you are free to apply on your own, many prospective students find it helpful to speak with an enrollment adviser first. Our friendly staff is here to answer your questions, talk with you about your career goals, and help you decide if this program is a good choice for you.
Step 1. Select a “home” campus from our list of program partners: UW-Parkside, UW-River Falls, or UW-Superior.
Step 2. Apply to your preferred home campus using the University of Wisconsin System Online Admission Application. Certificate-seeking students should complete the application as a “Special Student.” No application fee is required.
Financial Aid Options
Students enrolling in certificate programs are not eligible for financial aid.
A Multi-campus Collaboration
The UW Sustainable Management certificate program is a partnership of UW Extended Campus and three University of Wisconsin degree-granting institutions: UW-Parkside, UW-River Falls, and UW-Superior. This partnership allows us to bring you a truly multi-disciplinary curriculum taught by knowledgeable and experienced faculty from across the UW System.
Choosing a “Home” Campus
Although you will take courses taught by faculty from all UW Sustainable Management certificate program partner campuses and complete your certificate entirely online, you will be asked to choose a “home” campus from the institutions listed above. Your home campus is the institution from which you will receive your diploma. Your choice of a home campus is a matter of personal preference unless you live near one of these institutions and wish to meet face-to-face with campus staff once you become an enrolled student.
