Human Rights Minor

Location(s): Main Campus

The minor in Human Rights requires 25 credit hours. It is normally fulfilled by taking six 4- credit courses, culminating in a one-credit course in which students prepare a final portfolio with assignments from their earlier coursework and write a reflective essay and a research assignment.

Requirements

Students must complete the following requirements, which must include one or more Human Rights core courses (see program website for current list):

  • Two courses (8 credits) at the 300- or 400-level
  • Two courses (8 credits) at the 200-, 300-, or 400-level
  • Two courses (8 credits) at any level
  • One capstone course (up to 2 credits)

At least four of these 4-credit courses (16 credits) must be completed at Binghamton University.

Additional Restrictions

  • Independent Study: Students may only count up to four credits of independent study toward the minor.
  • Double counting: Students may only count two of the six courses (eight credits total) toward the requirements for another major or minor.
  • Grades: Only courses in which a student received a grade of C- or higher can be counted toward the minor. Only one course may be taken Pass/Fail.
