Graduate Certification Programs

The Bush School Certificate Program in Advanced International Affairs packages critical graduate education experiences in a novel way. It involves a multidisciplinary series of graduate courses for people whose careers or personal interest cause them to seek a more complete understanding of world affairs, but who may not have the time or disposition for a longer, residential graduate degree. A student admitted to the certificate program completes 12 credit hours of study typically involving four graduate-level courses. The set of courses from which a student selects include intelligence, national security, diplomatic history, international business and government, geography and world systems, international law, and certain skill courses (e.g. cross-cultural negotiation).

An applicant, once admitted, can enter the certificate program at any time and must have a bachelor’s degree and meet certain other qualifications. Inquiries may be addressed to the Bush School.

An individual who successfully completes the certificate program will be awarded a certificate by the Bush School. Grades for courses taken as part of this program will appear on the transcript.
