Title: Human Rights and Humanitarianism
Location: US
Company: Education
Pair a major with our five-course concentration to get an in-depth focus on human rights and humanitarian issues. Through the concentration—which includes classes in social sciences, humanities, and even fine arts—our students gain a nuanced understanding of the history of human rights and humanitarianism, and the institutional frameworks that govern them, as well as the theoretical and philosophical debates over the meanings of human rights and humanitarianism. Students grapple with a range of current and past global human rights problems and evaluate debates over the methods, motivations, and consequences of human rights and humanitarian action.
You’ll learn from your classmates and faculty, who infuse classroom discussions with a wide range of academic perspectives. You’ll see how a complex global challenge doesn’t fit neatly into one academic department. And thanks to our location, you can partner with world-class human rights and humanitarian organizations well before you graduate, without even leaving the Twin Cities.
