Interdisciplinary Certificate in Humanitarian Assistance (ICHA)

Designed to ensure that our graduates and humanitarian partners have access to up-to-date knowledge on how best to respond to rapidly changing needs in the field. Developed in close partnership with international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and building on the academic strengths of ÁùºÏ±¦µä faculty and staff, ICHA iincludes eight modules:

  • Migrants and Refugees in the Global Landscape
  • Basics of Refugee Determination
  • Community-based Psychosocial Support
  • Introduction to International Child Protection
  • Climate Change, Displacement, and Human Rights
  • Gender Based Violence
  • Public Health in Emergencies
  • Education in Emergencies

The ICHA target audience includes ÁùºÏ±¦µäSSW students who desire more specific content than is offered in the Global Practice curriculum; ÁùºÏ±¦µä undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in affiliated fields; and staff currently employed at partner INGOs who want to bolster their core humanitarian assistance competencies.Â
