Social Justice Distinction

This distinction is earned by students who complete 11–12 or more credit hours of specialized social justice themed course sections that focus on imagining, analyzing, and achieving justice. In addition, students complete a capstone project that provides the opportunity to reflect on, apply, and demonstrate what was learned in their Social Justice Studies coursework.
