Program details

Overview

This is a one-year Certificate in Gender, Diversity, and Equity Studies offered by Bishop's University's Department of Sociology within the Faculty of Social Sciences. The certificate consists of a series of courses examining inequality, gender, and feminist thought, offering a focused course of study for students seeking grounding in gender and equity issues without enrolling in a full degree program. Courses are offered in the regular Fall and Winter semesters. As a certificate rather than a degree program, it is intended primarily for part-time and community learners, though prospective degree students may also use it as an introduction to the subject area before committing to a full undergraduate program. The credential provides a standalone record of study in gender, diversity, and equity topics for students such as professionals, educators, or lifelong learners.
