Syracuse University offers a variety of Certificates of Advanced Study (CAS) allowing students to obtain additional specialization in a subject-matter area beyond their graduate degree. CAS are divided into three different classifications Concurrent CAS for Matriculated Graduate Students Stand Alone or Concurrent CAS Mid-Career and Executive CAS Certificate programs serve to complement a regular course of study. Certificates are obtained while completing the MAIR/EMIR degrees and may not require any additional time commitments. Note that a single course may only count toward two degree programs. A student pursuing more than two advanced programs of study may need to take additional courses beyond the two major programs to fulfill certificate requirements. CONCURRENT CAS OPTIONS FOR MATRICULATED GRADUATE STUDENTS ONLY The following certificates are available to matriculated Syracuse University (SU) graduate students CAS IN CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS The CAS in Civil Society Organizations prepares professionals for the NGO field or for research focusing on the roles of non-state actors in global civil society. The CAS requires 15-credits of coursework focusing on global society issues. This includes work in disciplines ranging from public administration and political science to sociology, geography, social work, and law. This coursework integrates theoretical and applied perspectives on NGOs and civil society actors and supports multidisciplinary graduate training around this field. The CAS requires students to take the required pro-seminar (PAI 713: Governance & Global one foundational perspective course, two discipline specific courses, and a capstone Society), experience (the IR internship can serve as this experience for MAIR students). Specific details are on the Transnational NGO Initiative website. CAS IN POST-CONFLICT RECONSTRUCTION Administered by the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT), a joint Maxwell School and Syracuse University College of Law initiative, this CAS is available to all graduate students. The CAS in Post-Conflict Reconstruction (PCR) combines interdisciplinary courses, seminars, and internship opportunities to offer graduates the unique opportunity to prepare themselves professionally for a career in a wide range of post-conflict stabilization, reconstruction, and peace-building environments.
