Master of Science in Green Building

Reach the highest level of green building expertise with a fast-track distance learning Master Degree Program. Green building specialist skills are needed throughout the business world, including nonprofits and government agencies, the construction and building development industries, and the design professions.

This program fills a vital need in the design professions, and it can put you at the heart of the nation’s new, dominant, long-term growth industry.

The USGBC’s LEED program has made history and will continue to do so, as thousands of buildings, public and private, in every city, will be required to be green certified. This will be one of the few bright spots in the economy in the next few years. As effective as LEED is, it doesn’t pretend to convey expertise in all aspects of green building and sustainable design. That’s left to the schools, but so far such education has been hard to find.
