African Humanitarian Studies 研究生 Certificate

African Humanitarian Studies 研究生 Certificate

The purpose of the 研究生 Certificate in African Humanitarian Studies is to channel the growing interest shown by students today in research 和 careers related to humanitarian interventions in non-western settings related to poverty, 自然灾害, 和冲突. 

While 非洲研究 at newbb电子平台 presents a holistic view of the continent, there is call to focus on the role of the world community in resolving some of Africa’s most pressing humanitarian issues. Only a h和ful of American universities offer a similar program.

学生s plan their course of study for the certificate with the assistance of the program advisor. They may choose to focus on project planning for interventions, on the culture or politics of humanitarian crises 和 their aftermath, or on conflict resolution studies. Courses chosen for study in the certificate provide tools for students wishing to advance a career related to this field.

 

职业发展机会

The 研究生 Certificate in African Humanitarian Studies will appeal to those students who may have had internship experiences abroad with such organizations 和 seek to upgrade their credentials for further employment, or to help students seeking jobs with these organizations to focus their course work in that direction.

研究 on humanitarian interventions is needed as well 和 some students may seek the credential to shape dissertation 和 other research projects.
