Curriculum

The interdisciplinary Certificate in Racial Justice is designed to educate students about such concepts as anti-racism, advocacy, white privilege, and institutionalized racism in the United States. The anti-racist education will expand an understanding of systemic racism in the United States, educating citizens and students about how to advocate for and begin to repair social, cultural, economic, and legal inequalities that affect our neighborhoods and our nation.

Completing this certificate will allow professionals in fields such as education, nursing, social work, business and management, political reform, and criminal justice, to holistically serve various cultural groups with an understanding and appreciation of the social, political, and racial contexts of their lives.

All courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better.
