Social Justice Certificate Info from the University of Dayton

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

The University of Dayton’s online Certificate in Social Justice Program was started in partnership with the Roundtable (although it is now independent of the Roundtable). The Institute for Pastoral Initiatives has updated information on its Online Certificate in Social Justice:

The Institute for Pastoral Initiatives designed the online Certificate in Social Justice by studying the common ground of certification requirements from across the USA to create a base from which dioceses may support their own Social Justice programs.
The Certificate in Social Justice is intended for:

  • Certified catechists
  • Catholic school educators
  • Persons working in Social Justice offices in dioceses and parishes
  • Anyone working in a Social Justice ministry

How do I Register?
The registration process is online at vlc.udayton.edu. Click on “Certificate Programs” in the left margin of the web page to begin

How much does it cost?

  • The application for enrollment in the Certification Program is $15.00 for persons in a partnering diocese, $30.00 for persons in a non-partnering diocese.
  • Each course within the Certificate Program costs $40.00 each for persons in a partnering diocese, $90.00 each for persons in a non-partnering diocese.
  • See our website for a list of current (Arch)Diocesan Partners.
