Purpose

Sustainable Urbanism is an interdisciplinary program based in the Center for Housing and Urban Development (CHUD) in the College of Architecture that has been designed to provide students with an understanding of the interrelationship between the sustainability, cities, and the environmental design professions. The Sustainable Urbanism Program consists of a series of courses that are open to students from any graduate degree program at Texas A&M University. The Sustainable Urbanism Certificate is awarded in recognition of those who have acquired a requisite degree of knowledge and skill in the field.

The Sustainable Urbanism Certificate Council

The Sustainable Urbanism Certificate Council is comprised of at least six (6) standing graduate faculty members who are expert in the field and are appointed by the Dean of the College of Architecture to advise on all matters relating to the program. They are appointed to represent all the academic departments participating in the certificate, and the Center for Housing and Urban Development (CHUD).

The Sustainable Urbanism Certificate

The Sustainable Urbanism Certificate Program is to be awarded after completion of a prescribed program of study, and must be signed by the head of the student's academic department and the dean of the college. The certificate contains the seal of the university and appropriate text. It will normally be presented at college ceremonies prior to the official university graduation exercises.
