More about the Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Diplomatic Studies is designed for students whose careers demand an understanding of the formulation and implementation of foreign policy and the dynamics of diplomacy as government officials, diplomats, in the NGO world, or the private sector. The certificate’s requirements seek to help students integrate and complement their graduate degree programs, to provide them with the intellectual skills to assess the complexity of issues and actors beyond the student’s own functional or geographic area of concentration, 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 goal is a balance of functional and regional focuses, core and emerging issues, and statecraft skills and competencies tailored to the academic background and career goals of the student. ISD welcomes first-year graduate students from across Georgetown University. The 2023 application opens December 1st and is due by February 1st.
