Not just a Master…a Master to change the world and educate the generation of the Third Millennium to become creative and compassionate leaders and professionals. This Master of Arts in Global Development and Social Justice is offered by St. John’s University in collaboration with Unicaritas (Caritas of Rome, Idente Foundation for Studies and Research and ISMA- Istituti di Santa Maria in Aquiro), and is guided by a Steering Committee chaired by the Director of the Center for Global Development, who provides administrative oversight and support.

 Overview:

A two-year Master of Arts degree program, taught in English that includes 11 three-credit courses for a total of 33 credits. Four courses are taken at the Unicaritas headquarters in Rome at the beginning and end of the program in July, while the remainder of the curriculum is delivered via a user-friendly on-line Distance Learning platform that can be accessed worldwide.

Given the distance learning nature of the program, the curriculum also offers significant training in Information Technology (the program provides each student with a laptop computer and a digital camera). Optional internships and service learning projects related to the student’s required capstone project are also offered.
