About

Throughout the summer, students will participate in virtual events that engage with the human rights community. Students also have the opportunity to learn from human rights practitioners through guest lectures. Columbia University offers the Human Rights programme.

Overview

Key facts

  • Columbia University's Human Rights certification program is ideal for professionals, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students wishing to further their knowledge and understanding of human rights. 
  • Students in the certification program include those seeking to complement their training in other fields or disciplines, such as law, public health, or fundraising, development, etc.; individuals with academic or professional experience in human rights wishing to obtain more specialized knowledge through graduate-level study; and students preparing for further graduate study.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • This certification program is offered at the graduate level. Rising juniors or seniors who have a strong academic record and a demonstrated interest in human rights are eligible to apply.
  • Current Columbia students are not eligible to earn the certification while enrolled in a degree program; however, they are eligible to take the individual courses for credit.
  • Students enrolled in (or on leave from) a degree program at SIPA are not eligible to receive the certificate. Should SIPA students wish to take classes associated with the certificate they must first consult with their assigned academic advisor for guidance and approval. A person who earns the certificate and then later enrolls in a degree program at SIPA may not count any of the certificate courses towards the SIPA degree.
