Key Summary

About: The Certificate in Reconciliation Studies offers an understanding of reconciliation within various contemporary contexts. You’ll explore the theories behind reconciliation, engage in critical dialogues, and analyze case studies that exemplify the reconciliation process. The program is designed for those interested in the social, political, and cultural implications of reconciliation efforts.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles in fields such as community development, conflict resolution, non-profit organizations, social justice advocacy, and policy analysis. This certificate can enhance career prospects in both public and private sectors, focusing on reconciliation initiatives and related services.

The successful completion of the Certificate in Reconciliation Studies requires a total of 18 credit hours. Students therefore need to complete two semesters that consist of hybrid online courses, land-based learning, a learning tour in James Bay, and practicum to complete their CRS.

Semester One is the academic core of the Certificate in Reconciliation Studies and consists of 3 hybrid online courses that are centered on a two-week in-person module (offered next in Oct. 14–25, 2024) in St. Stephen, New Brunswick and the Peskotomuhkati Nation’s Camp Chiputneticook. Hybrid online courses combine some online engagement with an intensive in-person module providing experiential, land-based, and storytelling approaches to education. One of the courses can be taken entirely online for those not able to attend the fall module. Semester Two consists of a Learning Tour to James Bay (Moosonee and Moose Factory) and a practicum in your local community.

Students may start with either semester. Currently, each semester is offered in the fall on a rotating basis, but SSU will offer Semester One in the fall and Semester Two in the spring each year starting in 2024/25. Click on the tabs below to view all components of the program.
