More demanding than the International Human Rights minor but less demanding than the International Human Rights major, the Certificate in International Human Rights is well suited to students with a strong interest in human rights but who are majoring in another subject. As a "stand-alone" certificate, it is also appropriate for those students with a strong interest in human rights and who have completed a B.A. or B.S. at another institution but who are not currently considering graduate or professional school.
