Master of Arts in Human Rights Practice

Program Overview

The online Masters degree in Human Rights Practice is a professionally oriented program designed to provide participants with the foundational knowledge, critical perspectives, and practical skills to advance human rights around the globe. Students will graduate with a portfolio of applied work, a large network of contacts, and marketable skills for the practice and application of human rights. Students in the program will help produce white papers, webinars, shadow reports, and other forms of human rights work.

The fully online program is designed both for individuals currently employed as well as for full time students.  The MA can be earned within one calendar year, though most students will take 18 months.  The program combines theoretical and methodological training with practical skills and applications as students are encouraged to interact, get involved, and engage the world, all while receiving a graduate degree in human rights from a recognized and well-respected university.

 Students will study cutting-edge issues through frequent webinars and the online participation of human rights practitioners from around the globe.  Our curriculum includes unique online experiences such as virtual field trips, in-depth analyses of current human rights crises with input from actors on the ground, community-engaged projects, and incorporation of students’ current human rights work.  Classes are also designed to support the human rights work of NGOs, activists, government officials, and current students.  Employed students will be able to apply current work outputs to MA coursework.
