  • Graduate Certificate in Gender, Race, and Nations

The School of Gender, Race and Nations (SGRN) is comprised of four units: Black Studies, Chicanx/Latinx Studies, Indigenous Nations Studies, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. This collaboration is interdisciplinary at its core. The overarching areas evident in the school's name feature the rich constellation of interlocking and challenging factors key to understanding our society and making changes for a more socially just future. Our goal is to create a space for excellence in studies and research of culture, race, ethnicity, sovereignty, nation, migration, class, gender and sexuality. The School of Gender, Race and Nations offers a graduate certificate. Those who enroll in the GRN certificate program include those from existing graduate programs and professionals seeking additional grounding in such studies.

These are the programs offered in the four SGRN units. Full details can be found on their individual websites.
