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.
