Master of Arts in Religion, Culture and Global Justice (Internship 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.

 

12-Month or 16-Month Internship Option

Students who wish to pursue the Internship Option for their degree must first obtain agreement from a program faculty member to supervise their completion of RE697: Supervised Internship. Internships may be conducted in Canada or abroad, and will normally be related to students’ topic of research for RE697: Supervised Internship.

The 12-Month Internship Option will normally be conducted during the spring semester for a minimum duration of four weeks. The longer option with internship is also a possibility but leads to a 16-month MA program, with no funding offered during the second fall term, during which the student writes their internship-informed MRP.

To pursue either internship option, students must submit a cover letter providing information on the internship program under consideration and a resume to the Graduate Program Coordinator for approval by the end of the fourth week of the winter term. Students return after the internship to complete RE697: Supervised Internship by the end of the spring semester (if completing the 12-month MA).

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.
