Human Rights Advocacy Certificate

This certificate program is intended to provide academic and practical training for students who intend to work in a range of organizations focused on the issues of human rights. This includes domestic and international organizations. The program integrates classroom learning with practical field experience through a series of courses across three different disciplines. The program seeks to help to fill a need for students seeking work in this field. Human rights advocacy is a rapidly growing area of work among non-governmental, governmental, and intergovernmental organizations around the world. While this program has clear benefits for students in experience and employability is also serves the broader interest of the University of West Georgia in building stronger community partner-ships.
