General Information
The Master of Arts in Social Justice and Ecology program seeks to further student skills, knowledge, and comprehension in areas related to
relationships between environmental degradation and social injustices and inequities.
The curriculum addresses both conceptual knowledge and practical connections between social injustices and ecological and social stability. This
involves correlations between various social injustices and a range of ecological issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, energy and
extractive industries, as well as animal welfare, habitat loss and other emerging topics. The program includes ecological literacy as well as various
theoretical approaches to ethics and justice.
The interdisciplinary coursework builds on the research and teaching expertise of Saint Paul University's schools and faculties, while providing
opportunities for students to deepen their own interests and professional trajectories.
Conditional upon approval by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities
