Master of Arts in Religion, Culture and Global Justice (Thesis-Based Option)

Program Overview

Our faculty, drawn from Laurier’s departments of Religion and Culture and Global Studies, are specialists in disciplines across the social sciences and humanities and conduct research around the world. We bring our diverse knowledge and expertise into the classroom and to our student supervision to foster transformative learning and the spirit of free inquiry.

The interdisciplinary nature of the Master of Arts (MA) in Religion, Culture and Global Justice program prepares you to move into professional arenas within and outside of academia, such as:

  • International relations and public policy
  • Interreligious dialogue and peace-building
  • Refugee and migrant resettlement
  • Institutional human rights and diversity policy
  • Journalism and communications
  • Programming on multiculturalism and community development

We encourage you to interrogate conventions and develop new modes of ethical engagement. In doing so, we seek to cultivate the critical skills and the knowledge that you need to succeed both within and beyond the university.

 

Thesis Option

A full-time, two-year, thesis-based option is available for those who wish to pursue a topic in greater depth. In the thesis option (in place of the major research project), you will complete a thesis proposal by the end of your first year, and in your second year complete a thesis and an oral defence.


Note: Internal funding is typically only available for the first year; students thinking of completing the two-year thesis option or a sixteen month internship option should have alternate funding (e.g. hold an external scholarship such as SSHRC or have assured research assistantship funding from their supervisor) for their second year.
