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.
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
