Social Justice Program: Welcome

The social justice minor is open to all students from any major or school at the University.  The Social Justice Program instills in students a commitment to work for justice and peace and for an approach to life that promotes social integrity, economic prosperity and defense of human rights for all.

The service dimension of learning at this university is expressed in a unique and effective way within the Social Justice Program.  It challenges students to place their personal development and career choices into an ethical worldview within an interdisciplinary context.

This program is open to a wide range of religious denominations or to those with no explicitly religious affiliation. All participants, however, will study principles of social justice rooted in the principles of Catholic Christianity.  All participants in this program prepare themselves to challenge unjust systems and become better leaders who will create a better world. The program includes courses in its current curriculum such as business, education, English, history, mathematics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and theology.
