Offered through the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy in collaboration with STIA, the Graduate Certificate in Global Health Diplomacy prepares students to navigate the intersection of global health and foreign policy.
The certificate equips students to work across multilateral, bilateral, formal, and informal diplomatic settings while building expertise in health diplomacy, international negotiations, and global governance.
The program is open to students enrolled in graduate programs across the School of Foreign Service and related disciplines.
Intersections between science, technology and international conflict are essential to understanding our world. This concentration examines how scientific discoveries and transnational infrastructures can help pave the roads to both war and peace. In a variety of technological sectors ranging from nuclear energy to information technology, many of the same infrastructures that connect states can also be weaponized to fuel instability and state violence. Students will investigate how shared infrastructures, energy generation, material resources and international transit shape the relationships between actors in the global arena and can be used as tools of peace and conflict.
The Graduate Certificate in Global Health Diplomacy (H-DIP) offers a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between global health and diplomacy through carefully selected courses, internships and a practitioner-led capstone project.
