The Advanced Certificate Program is for practitioners and teachers in the field of international education who already have the M.A. degree. It requires a minimum of 30 credits and can be completed in one year, consisting of two terms of full-time academic course work, and, for some students, the summer as well.  This is a flexible program in which students may develop a concentration that links educational research to policy and practice and is of immediate practical use to them.
