Graduate Certificate In Global Health Diplomacy (H-DIP)

Please note: Certificates are open only to students currently enrolled in
Georgetown University’s accredited degree programs.

Faculty Director:  Dr. Rebecca Katz, Director of the Georgetown Center for
Global Health Science and Security

The certificate’s requirements seek to help students integrate and
complement their graduate degree programs, to provide them with the skills to
assess the complexity of issues and actors in global health diplomacy, to
synthesize a wide range of information sources, to extrapolate from relevant
case studies and broad strategic goals, and to devise innovative, yet
pragmatic policy implementation steps.

The program of study is tailored to the student’s academic focus and career
goals, while covering a range of skills-based and topical coursework.
Requirements include three core courses, a capstone course, an internship,
up to two relevant courses within their program and one elective outside of
their graduate program. Students in the Global Infectious Disease program
may find that many of the courses they are taking as part of the masters or
doctoral program will also count for the certificate.

Application
The application for the graduate certificate is through a google form, due
February 1 st , although interested students should meet with Dr. Katz and
academic advisors prior to the application deadline in order to plan their
course of study. For more information, including a link to the application site,
