Minor in HSSJ
The flexible minor in human services and social justice allows students to combine their passion for HSSJ with a major in another department. It is particularly well suited for those who are interested in the nonprofit sector and policy making.
Our minor combines well with many majors, including public health, sustainability, international affairs, peace studies, psychology, business and political science, to name just a few. Students in the minor choose from course options such as Nonprofit Management, The Role of NGOs in International Humanitarian Assistance, Organizing for Social Justice in Human Services and our other exciting service learning courses.
This minor can be combined with the following programs in the Sociology Department:
- Criminal Justice major and minor
- Law and Society minor
- Health Equity micro-minor
- Sociology major and minor
