The Graduate Certificate in International Agricultural Development and Engagement provides traditional and non-traditional students interested in agricultural development with the requisite knowledge and skills that will enable them to secure employment and effectively work across cultural boundaries.  The graduate certificate focuses on international trade issues, policy analysis techniques; project management, monitoring, and evaluation; techniques for solving complex problems involving multiple stakeholders; and behavior and culture in work organizations.  As a result of the coursework, research, and experiential learning opportunities (domestically and abroad), graduates of the program will qualify for positions as mid-level personnel at the USDA Foreign Agricultural Services’ missions globally; trade coordinators for international corporations, including Cargill, Archer Daniels’ Midlands (ADM), Syngenta, Phillip Morris, and others.
