Description
Human rights are inherently interdisciplinary. The Emory Graduate Certificate in Human Rights is an integrated, innovative, and cooperative approach to human rights scholarship and training. The certificate combines the teaching and research strength of Emory University with the applied programs of our professional partners, including CARE USA, The Carter Center, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention among others. The Certificate is open to students in all of Emory’s professional schools: the School of Medicine, the Rollins School of Public Health, the School of Law,
Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, the Goizueta Business School, the Candler School of Theology and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Requirements
Awarding of the certificate requires students to complete the following:
Graduate Certificate Documentation: You do not need
to apply in advance in order to participate in the program.
We do advise, however, that you meet with one of our faculty
members in order that they might direct your course of study.
Please complete the certificate
documentation and submit it to the IHR no later than April
1 of the spring semester or November 1 of the fall semester
that you intend to graduate.
Core Seminar – Interdisciplinary
Perspectives on Human Rights (POLS585/ GH526/LAW819):
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Human Rights provides an
intensive introduction to human rights theory from a variety
of disciplinary perspectives- theological, legal and political,
historical and philosophical, cultural, ethical, and health.
This course is offered annually in the fall.
Two or three additional approved courses: Students in the professional schools are required to take two additional approved courses (for a total of six classroom hours). Doctoral level student need to complete an additional three approved courses (for a total of nine classroom hours). Approved courses can be found in our course listing.
Research practicum: Students have several options which will fulfill the research practicum requirement. Students may pursue a service-learning internship at a local or international human rights organization. The Institute of Human Rights helps coordinate placements, and students can make use of established relationships between Emory and other Atlanta organizations dealing with human rights. Core faculty facilitate student internship placement. The internship gives students an opportunity to link the theory of human rights to its real-world application, and also offers an opportunity for the expansion of contact between students and human rights professionals and organizations.
Students interested in internship placements should consult with the Executive Director Dabney Evans (dabney.evans@emory.edu) for more information.
Students may also fulfill the research practicum requirement
by completing a research paper focusing on human rights or
by having a substantive human rights emphasis in their thesis
or dissertation. Students should confer with one of our faculty
members when decided which option for the research practicum
will best fit the student’s needs.
Currently the certificate is available to all students in the Graduate School and the School of Public Health. The Institute is in the process of having the certificate approved by the other professional schools.
Undergraduate students in Emory College can take human rights related courses in a variety of departments, including Anthropology, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, and Women’s Studies. The Undergraduate Human Rights Program is designed to compliment Humanities, Social Science, and Physical Science majors. There are currently a number of courses being offered that have an emphasis on human rights. Please refer to our course listing for available courses.
