The Social Justice minor is designed to deepen and complement your area of study.  We encourage taking core and elective courses outside of your major.

Required Core Courses (9 credits)
Approaches to Social Justice (3) - ANTH/ES/WGSS/WLC 373

Social Justice in Action (4) - ANTH/ES/WGSS/WLC 410

Capstone in Social Justice (2) - ANTH/ES/WGSS/WLC 485

Advising Tip: students should register for the required cross-listed core course outside of their major.  For instance, if the student is an Anthropology major, have them sign up for ES/WGSS/WLC 373.

Electives (18 credits)
Courses must be taken in at least three different designators with at least one globally-oriented course (indicated by 1). Categorization of courses is to be facilitated in advising and choice by students.
