Restorative Justice Diploma Program
We will not be offering courses in Restorative Justice in Summer 2012.
The Diploma is composed of three intensive weeks, each course offered during a one-week period in Summer term (usually the first three weeks of May). The courses may be taken consecutively or separately over a period of time. The three courses may be taken in whatever order one chooses. Assignments are to be completed following the conclusion of the instructional week. The courses are followed by a 200-hour supervised field placement in a restorative justice context.
The Diploma is based on a combination of classroom and supervised experience. Classroom briefings, videos, group discussions, projects, guest presenters and field experience provide a broad mix of approaches to help participants gain insights into current restorative justice initiatives.
The Diploma in Restorative Justice is designed for community and institutional chaplains, chaplaincy volunteers, social workers, lawyers, police and correctional staff, pastors, offenders, victims of crime, and agency workers involved with ex-offenders and parolees and psychology, sociology, criminology, and theology students.
Note: Applicants interested in the M.Div. or B.Th. with a Concentration in Restorative Justice should consult the Graduate and Professional Degrees section.
