The School of Arts & Social Sciences offers an 18 credit minor in Human Rights & Social Justice.
This minor concerns the promotion and protection of human dignity irrespective of race, color, social class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, culture, or nationality and involves an examination of societal problems of hunger and poverty, education, immigration, discrimination, and ecological issues.
Students are encouraged to recognize how human rights and social justice causes are intertwined in different fields of study. Students are prepared for advanced study in an appropriate discipline where scholarship can focus on human rights and social justice, or in careers that incorporate human rights advocacy, including journalism, filmmaking, law, teaching, policy analysis, or service in government or intergovernmental entities.
Internships are available in this area of study. Internships with 3 credits will be accepted provided they meet the standard of the minor and will need the approval of the major advisor.
