Diploma in Social Justice Studies

The aim of the Social Justice Studies (SJS) diploma program is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the range of ways in which scholars, researchers, and students address and engage with issues surrounding social inequities and injustices in the contemporary world. SJS will provide students with a strong foundation for understanding and researching social justice issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

SJS also offers considerable practical value. Our program is designed to complement and enhance a students’ undergraduate education. The SJS program will not only deepen and broaden your understanding of social and political issues, but it will also strengthen your qualifications for a great range of graduate programs, professional schools, and occupations. The emphasis within SJS on experiential learning, including SJS 400B, promotes both personal growth and development of practical skills.
