Certificate Programs
Pardee RAND Graduate School is committed to making policy analysis education accessible to a broad audience through our certificate programs.
Our Faculty Leaders Program has been providing professors from institutions across the United States with immersive, hands-on training in policy analysis for over a decade. These professors can then bring their newfound expertise back to their classrooms and communities.
In conjuction with RAND's NextGen Initiative, we are also offering a one-day National Security Intensive this spring at RAND's Washington, D.C., area office.
Additionally, we collaborate with institutions worldwide to offer short courses in policy analysis, further expanding the reach of our educational offerings.
