Experience is valued at the Nicholas School

As environmental problems become more complex, learning must become a lifelong pursuit. Executive education programs must keep pace with the ever-changing demands that confront business executives and professionals in the environmental field. For over twenty years, the Nicholas School has been serving the needs of practicing environmental professionals. Through a variety of short courses, certificates, and degree programs, we provide participants with cutting edge information, unique learning experiences and quality instruction by utilizing Duke University's resources in environmental science, engineering, policy and business.

Professionals wishing to pursue additional training have two options:

• The Duke Environmental Leadership Program - The Duke Environmental Leadership (DEL) Program is an interdisciplinary graduate curriculum dedicated to the diverse needs of mid-career environmental professionals, which includes a portfolio of course options that emphasize interdisciplinary themes, strategic approaches to environmental management, communication and effective leadership. Students may enroll in individual short courses, certificate programs, or the Duke Environmental Leadership Master of Environmental Management (DEL-MEM) degree program.

• The Senior Professional Program - Qualified professionals with at least five years of work experience in an environmental field may be admitted to the Nicholas School as part-time candidates for either the Master of Environmental Management (MEM) or the Master of Forestry (MF) degree.
