Guided by experienced faculty and community mentors, students earning a Social Justice Studies major explore the reality and consequences of systemic oppression. They also learn how to respond to those realities and consequences in ways that alleviate immediate suffering and lead to social transformation. The pairing of classroom instruction with a deep dive into hands-on, experiential learning in justice and service-related contexts enables students to develop their gifts as agents of social change.
