Put yourself at the forefront of sustainable construction

The demand for a renewable, high-performance alternative to traditional building materials is on the rise — and mass timber is redefining the future of sustainable construction. When you earn a Graduate Certificate in Mass Timber online from Oregon State University, you’ll acquire the expertise to lead in a rapidly growing field that bridges environmental responsibility with modern construction innovation. Learn about traditional and cutting-edge applications of wood in construction as you prepare for leadership roles in manufacturing, engineering, construction management and sustainable design.

What is mass timber?

Mass timber refers to large, prefabricated, engineered wood components — such as walls and floors — that enable efficient, sustainable construction on a large scale. It is characterized by automation and prefabrication, which streamline production and construction.

By enrolling in this certificate program, you’ll enhance your expertise in sustainable construction while gaining skills related to mass timber products and building systems, and the methods and tools driving innovation in their production, design, fabrication and construction.
