Banner Code: PP-CERG-GHS
School/Department: Schar School of Policy and Government (formerly SPGIA)
The School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs offers certificate programs in conjunction with its master’s programs. The certificate in global health and security provides an introduction to the intersection of global public health and security, covering topics such as emerging infectious diseases, biosurveillance, the development of vaccines, and emergency response to public health disasters. Students already pursuing a master’s degree in the school may, in most cases, after admission to a certificate program, earn an additional six credits (two courses) in SPGIA to receive a certificate in addition to the master’s degree.
Applicants to all graduate programs must meet the admission standards and application requirements for graduate study as specified in the Graduate Admission Policies section of this catalog. Participants must be admitted to a certificate program. Admission requirements are the same as those for the master’s programs and may be found on the SPGIA admissions web site.
Students admitted to an SPGIA program will be terminated from SPGIA upon receiving one grade of F and are no longer eligible to take courses in the school. Per university regulation, students are terminated from the university after accumulating grades of F in two courses or 9 credits of unsatisfactory grades in graduate courses. See the Academic Policies section of the catalog for additional policies pertaining to graduate students.
The graduate certificate in global health and security may be pursued on a part-time or full-time basis.
