Certificates

The School of Foreign Service (SFS) offers a variety of graduate certificates that allow students to focus on a particular region or topic throughout their studies. These certificates are offered by departments and centers across the SFS and have their own requirements in addition to the requirements of the SSP degree. Most SFS Graduate Certificates can be completed concurrently with the M.A. in Security Studies. Students work with the academic advisors in both SSP and the department offering the certificate to map out their course plans to accommodate the requirements of a certificate program in conjunction with their SSP requirements. See the list of eligible certificates below, and find more information about graduate certificates on the main School of Foreign Service website.
