Certificate in Human Rights

The Certificate in Human Rights provides a structured path for students interested in deepening their knowledge and understanding of human rights in theory and practice. Students participating in the program will pursue a series of courses that enable them to develop new connections between the history and theory of human rights and the practical deployment of the human rights framework.

Eligibility

The certificate is available to students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students at institutions that do not have formal programs in human rights, as well as those that do, may apply for the certificate. 

Requirements

Students must complete five courses in human rights at any institution. These courses include:

  1. one introductory course in human rights law, politics, advocacy, or practice;
  2. one course that examines human rights as a transnational or global practice or phenomenon;
  3. one course taught from a perspective other than that of law or politics;
  4. two Online Courses or Network Collaborative Courses, or Summer Courses in human rights.
