Certificate in International Affairs
By adding an international dimension to their field of study, the Certificate in International Affairs can enhance the employment opportunities of Tech students pursuing majors outside of International Affairs. The certificate also broadens the preparation of students who intend to pursue graduate education in medicine, law, or business. Many Tech graduates have reported that the Certificate in International Affairs is a very useful addition to one's resumé when interviewing for jobs. Earning a certificate adds both breadth and depth to a student's education.
