Graduate Certificate in Global Development
The Graduate Certificate in Global Development is a 12-credit-hour program for degree-seeking graduate students or post-baccalaureate students studying on a non-degree basis.
This certificate explores the principles and methods of international economic and urban development and prepares students to influence technological, social, and policy decisions in their professions in the global context.
The curriculum includes an Atlanta-based Global Development Capstone or a City and Regional Planning Studio with travel to locations such as Puerto Rico or Japan. Capstones are led by faculty and often involve projects for clients, completed in partnership with governmental agencies, NGOs, or think tanks.
