Social Justice and Social Enterprise Certificate

The Certificate in Social Justice and Social Enterprise is a 15 credit hour graduate certificate designed for those interested in professional formation to enhance their work for social justice and in social organizations but for whom a full graduate degree may not be necessary.

This program is especially suited to those who have completed an undergraduate degree and wish to deepen their understanding of social justice and students in graduate programs who wish to add an advanced graduate certificate in social justice and social enterprise. The Certificate is also well suited for professionals whose work in the field would be enhanced by the well-rounded theoretical and practical formation afforded by this program.

For students who complete this Certificate and return to pursue the full MA in Social Justice (36 credit hours) within 8 years of graduating, all the credit hours applied to this Certificate will count toward the MASJ. This Certificate can be applied toward to the requirements of any MA degree at IPS, in whole or in part depending on the requirements of the MA in question.
