ProGreen Diploma

Overview

In partnership with universities in Lebanon and Egypt, the ProGreen Diploma is a new program in green technologies with specializations in energy, buildings and water. The ProGreen Diploma falls closely within the partner institutions’ goal of promoting professional outreach green education and building the capacity of professionals in green power generation, green building technologies, and sustainable water production, treatment, and reuse.

The ProGreen Diploma is developed with the support of the TEMPUS Grant “Joint/Dual Professional Graduate Diploma and Professional Degree in Green Technologies” and is compliant with the Bologna process credit system requirements for course equivalency and with the credit requirements of the offering partner institutions in Lebanon and Egypt.

There is a growing demand for trained personnel in green technologies with a profound understanding of integrated approaches to building design from concept to actual construction, to alternative energy generation methods and to techniques for safe water production and re-use. The private sector and universities will need to respond to this new and urgent demand for skilled green labor in the green energy market, building, and products.
