The 15-unit certificate provides students with both a theoretical and practical foundation in policy studies. Students take core courses introducing them to major theoretical traditions in the field, at least one research methods course, and electives that either provide an in-depth look at a policy area or develop skills through an internship or a thesis project. This advanced certificate is intended for students who wish to pursue policy-related careers in either the public or private sectors. The certificate is open to all matriculated students with a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution or its equivalent from a foreign institution.
