Our Social Justice Studies program offers a pathway related to careers aligning with legislation, anthropology, public policy, sociology, humanitarian efforts, criminal justice, education, social work, and more. In this program, you will learn about historical ties to current social structures. You will explore inequities in housing, government, education, social environments, and other institutions. The program covers a range of identities and cultures and social constructs that impact local, national, and global communities.

What you’ll accomplish as a student in our Social Justice program:

1. Develop skills and knowledge to become an effective agent of social change
2. Learn to articulate social justice frameworks utilizing multiple perspectives
3. Discover ways to engage with people and power structures to promote equity and inclusion for those from historically and presently minoritized communities.
4. Recognize and interrogate various forms of social and structural oppression.
5. Work directly with accomplished, student-centric faculty trained in a wide range of disciplines.
6. Benefit from small class sizes and a range of classroom experiences to build community with your classmates.

According to U.S. News & World Report, national student loan debt topped $1.7 trillion in the second quarter of 2021, or roughly $740 billion more than U.S. total credit card debt.

In Minnesota, 900,000 student loan borrowers owe an average $31,250 in federal and private student debt. That debt translates into an average monthly payment topping $250.
