Bachelor of Arts - Human Rights Studies (EKH)

Human Rights are predicated upon the belief that every human being deserves to be treated with equal dignity, and that every person has inherent value. Human Rights Studies interrogate how people fulfill these ideals, but also how they fail to do so in different times and places. It equips students with the intellectual and practical skills they need to explore, understand, and act-to become protagonists in the equal granting of all human beings the status and the rights associated with their being. Students will engage with expert faculty and practitioners on a wide range of topics related to the origins and development of human rights, and to their contemporary application in various fields of study and practice, including law, education, journalism, humanitarian relief and law enforcement.
