Minor in
Human Rights Studies
DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
The Human Rights Studies minor provides students with an understanding of human rights philosophy, norms, law, institutions, and practice. The core courses provide a conceptual grounding of the field along with a critical awareness of fundamental twenty-first century challenges to protect the lives, well-being, and dignity of all individuals, that transcends national boundaries.
The interdisciplinary curriculum will be drawn from the fields of Political Science, History, Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology, International Studies, and Literature.
Combined with their related majors, students will graduate with a substantive grasp of human rights, particularly in the context of their major fields.
