CIRES and CU

CIRES Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Policy »
Requiring a total of 18 hours of coursework, this program prepares students for careers at the interface of science, technology and decision-making.
CIRES Students Gain Valuable Field Experience
One of the hallmarks for CIRES students is the opportunity to participate in fieldwork with the world's leading researchers. Whether students venture as far as Greenland or as near as the Rocky Mountain National Park, experiences beyond the classroom help define their professional resume.
