The curriculum combines 9 hours of core courses and 6 hours of elective coursework. Students receive a foundation in comparative higher education, organization and administration in higher education, and student services. Through elective courses appropriate to student interests, students will develop a regional area of cultural expertise and participate in at least one professional vocational experience with an emphasis on developing skills in evaluation/assessment, management, and program development. Although the certificate does not require language coursework as part of the curriculum, participants must establish their language proficiency relative to their professional and regional concentration so that they are prepared to be effective and competitive in the field.
