Graduate Certificate in Public Policy

University of Houston

The Hobby School of Public Affairs offers several graduate certificates in public policy, including a generalist Graduate Certificate in Public Policy. The Graduate Certificate in Public Policy is meant to provide an overview of public policy, and unlike the other graduate certificates, it doesn’t focus on a specific policy area.Graduate certificates are an excellent way for students to earn additional academic credentials and relevant training in a shorter period of time compared to a full master’s degree. These graduate certificates require four approved courses that can also be counted towards the Master of Public Policy degree if students later apply and join this program.
