Human Rights Program students in class

Graduate students at the University of Minnesota have a number of opportunities to get involved in human rights.

Master of Human Rights

The College of Liberal Arts and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs jointly offer an interdisciplinary, two-year Master of Human Rights degree. This newly created program seeks to provide students with conceptual and professional knowledge suited to a career in human rights.

Human Rights Graduate Minor

Graduate students pursuing other degrees can add a focus on human rights through the graduate minor in human rights. The minor is available for master's, doctoral, and law students.

Internships & Capstones

The Human Rights Program also coordinates a number of human rights internships and capstones for graduate students. Learn more about internships and career exploration here.
