Human rights are central to contemporary understandings of justice and equality, and have crucial bearing on the ability to assess and respond to emerging technological, economic, social, and political issues.
The Undergraduate Human Rights Program at the Institute for the Study of Human Rights seeks to engage students in this dynamic and evolving field and enhance their knowledge, skills, and commitment to human rights.
The program offers a major and a concentration in human rights, provides students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and explore their interests in human rights outside the classroom, and works to strengthen and support the undergraduate human rights community on campus.
