The Graduate Certificate in Anti-Racism acknowledges the completion of a coherent curriculum that draws from four (4) content courses addressing race and racism in professional or organizational spaces. The Graduate Certificate in Anti-Racism caters to individuals interested in an advanced degree that provides an understanding of education in urban environments with a focus on race, racism, and anti-racism. While the fundamentals of this certificate are rooted in educational systems, drawing on and extending the pedagogical expertise of educators, the programs was strategically designed so these knowledges and skills can disrupt racism in any system, such as politics, housing, public health, healthcare, economics, criminal justice, and beyond. The certificate demonstrates that students have completed coursework enabling them to become justice-oriented change agents in the organizations in which they work.
All coursework is 100% online. The four courses address different foci and content, yet all have the aim that students uncover the underlying social, economic, psychological, and political conditions that disproportionately and inequitably channel advantages and opportunities to particular racialized groups while denying them to others.
