Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate Program in Transportation Systems


Transportation Certificate Courses

To complete the minimum requirements for the certificate, students are encouraged to take the Proseminar, two transportation-focused classes, techniques class, and complete a capstone paper or transportation-related thesis.

New course offerings

Civil and Environmental Engineering has welcomed three new transportation professors in the last two years. As a result, the department has introduced a number of new courses in transportation operations, sustainability, and safety. Please check with the professors listed to check on any required prerequisites either in terms of coursework or educational background.

Pubic Affairs is offering a new course, Economic Development, offered by Professor Jeffrey Chapman.

Larry Gesell, Professor of Science, Technology, and Society, has responded to a number of requests for more air transportation courses. He is volunteering to offer a new course, Air Transportation Planning. The course will focus primarily on airport planning. There are no prerequisites except graduate registration. He will offer this course on the Tempe campus if there is sufficient interest. The course number will be PUP 598, three credits. 

Course information

PUP 591, the required transportation proseminar will be offered as a hybrid course in fall 2007. Most of it will be on Internet. There will, however, be three required in-class sessions on the fourth Tuesday of September, October, and November—6:15-8:15 pm. These sessions are on significant dimensions of the course that are taught more effectively in live sessions. These sessions will connect students with other members of the university interdisciplinary transportation faculty.

Please note that the capstone paper—PUP593—does not meet at a specific time, even though the university course schedule says so. It is an independent project. 

Internet courses do not meet at specific times. Follow guidelines offered by instructors.

The transportation certificate is now offering courses on three ASU campuses as well as Internet courses. Please note the following in terms of location.

AMT courses are offered on Polytechnic Campus, and Public Affairs courses are offered on the Downtown Phoenix Campus. Planning, Civil Engineering, and Geography courses are offered on Tempe Campus. Check the online course schedule to find out about specific locations for courses.
