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 available in residence and/or online. 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.

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 official transcript, together with notation that the certificate has been achieved.
