The University of Colorado Boulder invites current lighting professionals and those who aspire to be lighting professionals to come back to school with us this fall. With our 9-credit Architectural Lighting Certificate program, you can complete a sequence of three CU Boulder lighting courses beginning in September 2025 and ending in July 2026. As highlighted in this 15-second video, the curriculum includes two semester-long fully online courses (Fall and Spring) and culminates with a week-long hands-on intensive learning experience in Boulder next summer. Build your confidence and competence while earning a graduate-level university credential that can open new career pathways! A limited number of student financial awards are available; preference for financial support will be given to those who apply by July 30. Prospective students can find further details and access the no-cost application on the program’s website.
