Master of Arts in International Human Rights
The MA in International Human Rights provides students with the opportunity to explore issues of human dignity while critically examining the norms, processes and institutions designed to promote and protect human rights in our globalizing world. The program is unique among its peers for its interdisciplinary nature, linking human rights to development, health, security and humanitarian assistance, and for its emphasis on theory and practice. For breadth, the core curriculum offers courses in human rights theory, history, law, foreign policy and economic development. Courses with thematic perspectives link human rights to security, economic development, administration, gender and other issues. “At the Josef Korbel School there are incredible opportunities to learn and connections to be made. Some of the professors are legendary in their fields and for them to bring that knowledge to you in a class is pretty special.”
