The Global Studies and International Affairs Graduate Certificate online program is designed to provide students with the skills and training necessary to analyze, research, and evaluate specific topics of interest in a particular country or region, or on a global basis. Delivered entirely online, the program curriculum focuses on the themes of transition and development throughout the world.

Core courses provide a base of knowledge about major global issues, including politics and economics, culture and community, and corporate and social responsibility. These are complemented by electives that allow students to focus on specific areas of interest such as global development, conflict resolution, literacy, and health. Other electives focus on specific regions such as Europe, China, India, the Middle East, and Africa.

Lectures, tests, and assignments are delivered and executed entirely online. This format not only allows for heightened flexibility and interaction, but also participation from a truly international assortment of students.
