Graduate Certificate in Restorative Justice

Governors State University

The Certificate in Restorative Justice (CRJ) program at Governors State University combines faculty expertise in restorative justice with a multidisciplinary approach to justice in theory and practice. Students who complete this certificate– whether on its own or in conjunction with a master’s degree program in Education, Criminal Justice, or Political & Social Justice Studies–build a philosophical foundation in justice, learn best practices of restorative justice, and apply their skills and training toward more effective work in their local communities. Students will investigate a range of topics in the classroom and in the field, including restorative justice in legal, educational, urban, environmental, local, and global contexts.
