The social justice pathway offers students opportunities to examine issues and theories related to identity, diversity, and equity.  Through interdisciplinary coursework and projects, students will deepen their understandings of the disparate ways that people access civil, political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights and opportunities and the ways that social structures impact equitable distribution.

Students interested in this pathway, have the option of completing a GE minor. See information on GE Minor: Diversity and Social Justice.
