Students are required to complete at least one specialization or certificate in order to graduate (you are welcome to complete more than one!). Especially if you are pursuing a self-designed specialization, please confer with the Associate Director of Academic Programs for approval.
Specializations:
While students may enter the program with fairly firm ideas about their desired specialization areas, it is possible that interests change upon matriculation. Students are encouraged to declare their specialization at the end of the first semester or beginning of the second semester.
The objective of the specialization is to enable students to develop an area of expertise, provide focus to their elective courses and their summer work project, and enhance their required internship experience and professional training.Â
You can find a list of approved GHD courses for our specializations, in addition to recommendations for other departments that may have courses fitting those interests, here.
Certificates:
Certificate requirements differ across programs, but typically require 5-6 courses plus other requirements. Completion of a certificate will appear on transcripts and other formal records at Georgetown. Contact the certificate programs directly for admissions and course requirements.
