Non-Degree Graduate Certificate in Restorative Practices

For those professionals who are interested in achieving knowledge and skill in restorative practices, but who are not interested in matriculating in a formal degree program, the IIRP offers a non-degree graduate certificate in restorative practices. Those seeking the graduate certificate must complete the 12 course credits in the Core Curriculum (below). IIRP does not consider participants in the graduate certificate program as matriculated students in the master’s degree programs of the graduate school, although graduate certificate students may later apply for admission to either of the master’s degree programs.

Program Learning Objectives

1. Knowledge and skill in restorative processes, from basic to advanced and from informal to formal.
2. Awareness of history, philosophy, theory and significant research about restorative practices.
3. Strategies for self-evaluation and professional growth.
