The Graduate Certificate in Global Studies and International Affairs is designed to provide working professionals, students, alumni and other interested participant with the skills and training necessary to analyze research and evaluate a topic of interest in a global location. Overall, the curriculum of the program focuses on the themes of transition and development in the global world. At the heart of the program are Seminars in Global Training (SGT). Each SGT is taught by a faculty member who has "real-world" experience in a global location, as well as field-appropriate academic training. Students in the SGT will be required to complete a real-world problem solving exercise that defines a global issue that impacts his/her career or interest. The issue is examined in depth through on-site information gathering, then presented to the seminar. Through this three stage process, students learn how to apply their academic training in real-world situations in areas that concern them person
