Certificates

The Institute for the Study of Diplomacy offers both a graduate and undergraduate Certificate in Diplomatic Studies, and collaborates with the Center for Global Health Sciences & Security to offer a graduate Certificate in Health Diplomacy. The purpose of such certificates is to prepare students to work effectively in an inter-disciplinary, inter-agency and multilateral context on evolving global issues that confront states, private sector partners and both benign and malicious non-state actors. They are not designed solely for those seeking careers in diplomacy but also for those whose careers will demand an understanding of the formulation and implementation of foreign policy among a broad range of actors and issues.

The certificates are not about tradecraft but the theory and practice of diplomacy as a core element of statecraft in furtherance of national and global interests. They draw on an understanding of the inter-related roles of history, economics, culture/religion, domestic political actors, development and security, law and science, and demand cores skills of quantitative, as well as qualitative, analysis, negotiation, mediation and policy entrepreneurship.

The certificates are open only to students currently enrolled in Georgetown University’s accredited degree programs.
