Genocide & Holocaust Studies (Certificate)
ONLINE PROGRAM

Genocides - violent crimes committed against national, racial, ethnic, or religious groups with the intent of entirely destroying them - have occurred throughout human history. Why? And is there a way to break the pattern?

Seton Hill's online program in Genocide and Holocaust Studies assists current and future teachers, historians and scholars to understand the cultural, political, economic and religious forces behind genocide by engaging in comparative study of genocides of the past and present and by examining the singularly horrific crime of the Holocaust.

This certificate program provides educators with the tools that are needed to present information on the Holocaust and other forms of genocide to students in an age-appropriate and emotionally supportive manner.  It also helps anyone interested in genocide and the Holocaust to have a fuller understanding of the political, social and religious issues that give rise to acts of genocide, and how the lessons of history inform possible responses to the genocides that exist in the world today.
