Your Curriculum
Each Certificate Program comprises three interrelated challenges, equipping you with unique competencies to conquer current and future hurdles.
Challenge #1
Behavioral Economics
Explore the psychological, cognitive, and emotional factors influencing decision-making. Behavioral Economics combines insights from psychology, sociology, and neuroscience to understand why people sometimes make choices that are not in their best interest, and how these choices can be changed to improve outcomes. Uncover key concepts of decision making, like loss aversion.
Challenge #2
Sustainable Design
Learn to apply the fundamentals of Sustainable Design to create products, services, and systems that minimize negative impacts on the environment and society while promoting positive outcomes. Sustainable Design also takes into account the social and cultural context in which products and structures are developed, and seeks to enhance the quality of life for users while supporting local economies and communities.
Challenge #3
Applied Design for Behavioral Change
Bring together your learnings from behavioral economics and sustainable design by solving a real-world challenge. By understanding how people make decisions, you can design interventions, products, services, and policies that encourage more sustainable behavior towards better choices, and ultimately improve outcomes for individuals and society as a whole.
