Each semester we compile a list of course which have been approved for both the master's and minor:
Review the list of courses approved for the Master of Human Rights. Please direct questions and requests about master's courses to mhr@umn.edu.
Review the list of courses approved for the graduate minor in human rights. For an elective course to count toward the minor, it must be outside a student’s major field of study. It is each student’s responsibility to contact the instructor regarding any prerequisites or other registration requirements for the course. Please direct questions and requests regarding qualifying graduate courses to hrminor@umn.edu.
