The Social Responsibility program offers you an interdisciplinary experience in social justice, community activism and egalitarian social change.

Through this program you will gain a well-round education that engages you in both academic inquiry and practice of social change informed by critical theoretical perspectives with courses in theory, research methods and other substantive areas. You will be prepared to go into the world of community action, work in non-governmental or governmental sectors, industry, non-profit, policy groups or pursue further education.
