International Studies
The International Studies certificate program offered by Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies is designed to develop global perspective skills, critical thinking abilities, and the cultural sensitivity to work with people from all backgrounds. While some students
use this course work as a stepping stone to graduate programs,
others may utilize international studies in business consulting,
journalism, education, public affairs, or any other area
that requires an international and cross-cultural perspective.
