2023-2024 Graduate Catalog
Social Justice Education Graduate Certificate
|
|
The graduate certificate in Social Justice Education is intended for those seeking to develop skills necessary when working with diverse populations, especially targeted, minority populations, in ways that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Students currently enrolled in many of the graduate programs on our campus are seeking to understand their different fields of study through a social justice lens. A certificate in social justice education will offer students a way to bundle the courses they are already taking so that they can present to future employers their skills in a way that is easily recognized.
