CAS in Migration and Diversity

Overview

CAS in MIGRATION and DIVERSITY

The Certificate of Advanced Studies in Migration and Diversity analyzes changes in social structures and cultural processes owing to migration. It teaches the skills to engage with others, create solutions that turn problems into opportunities, and explores conditions for larger social inclusion.

Migration streams affect all aspects of social life (public institutions, policy-making, businesses, media, health services, religion and ethics, gender and family). Diversification boosts enrichment and creates challenges.

WHOM IS THE CAS FOR?

Professionals seeking career advancement in public institutions that serve or employ migrants or address migration issues such as federal or local institutions, non-governmental organizations, or corporate organizations with diverse migrant workforce.
