Holocaust and Genocide/Atrocity Prevention Graduate Certificate: Why

The H-GAP Graduate Certificate can be completed on its own, or can be woven into other graduate degrees at PSU to best fit your interests. Demand for Holocaust and genocide education is high as Oregon is among 16 states that has mandated that the subject be taught in schools, and this certificate equips educators with multiple interdisciplinary perspectives in genocide and atrocity prevention.
