Introduction

The Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Graduate Certificate provides an interdisciplinary perspective on crime, the formulation of laws and codes, and the criminal legal system and its intersection with gender and violence.  Courses within the GBV Graduate Certificate are conducted in the hybrid format. All four of the GBV courses will meet in-person for a one-week intensive session followed by online instruction for the remainder of the semester.

In addition to the stand-alone Graduate Certificate, students may also choose to complete a concentration in Gender-Based Violence as part of the Criminal Justice, MCJ  or the Public Administration, MPA . Students interested in the GBV concentration must apply and enroll in the MCJ or MPA program within the School of Public Affairs (SPA) and must adhere to all master degree program requirements.
