    Green Building Certificate Program

    Distance Learning Partnership with Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSU-Pueblo)

    "For those who work in the design and construction industries, this certificate can greatly increase their competency and ability to contribute, collaborate, and advance."

    St. Edward’s University Professional Education Center is partnering with CSU-Pueblo's distinguished Green Building Certificate Distance learning Program. The program is directed by Dr. Larry Grosse, Emeritus Head of the Department of Construction Management at CSU, a nationally recognized leader in construction management education and green building.

    “This is an exciting time in the building industry. LEED-guided, healthy, high-performance buildings are quickly becoming the standard for progressive cities, school districts, and the private sector,” says Dr. Grosse. “This 14-week certificate program responds to the growing need for specially-trained professionals who are able to adapt to a changing industry and culture."

    The Certificate Program runs March 4 - May 27 and is geared toward:

    • Design professionals – interior, landscape, architectural

    What is LEED?

    LEED© is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

    The Green Building Certification Institute has created the LEED Green Associate credential, which denotes basic knowledge of green design, construction, and operations. More information on the certification is available here.

    This course offers expert instruction from professionals in their fields plus instructional handouts, reference books and a practice exam.

    Participants will:

    • Learn about environmentally sustainable construction from leading experts in green design and construction management education
    • Expand their existing knowledge base in preparation for the LEED® Green Associate exam
    • Integrate environmental concerns with career goals
    • Connect with experts in the industry, and fellow construction professionals
    • Enhance their careers in a convenient educational setting
