Social Innovation

The Faculty of Human Sciences at Saint Paul University offers a Graduate Diploma in Social Organization Development, a Master of Arts (MA) in Social Innovation and a Doctorate (PhD) in Social Innovation.

Based on the linking of theory with practice, these programs provide students with the main analytical frameworks and approaches needed to meet the current challenges facing social organizations and allows them to understand the dynamics and multiple impacts of social innovations to assess and structure them more efficiently.

These programs are directed at a specific clientele: Candidates interested in working toward social change and candidates already working in that domain (employees and managers of social organizations, social entrepreneurs, activists, community workers, trade unionists, members of cooperatives and some workers from the public and semi-state sectors) who wish to acquire skills in academic research and analysis of innovation and social transformation.
