Graduates of our program pursue varied career paths. Many of our alumni engage in research, advocacy and programmatic work in both large international organizations as well as smaller NGOs in the US and abroad. Others pursue opportunities with inter-governmental organizations like the UN or government ministries or departments. Some students use this degree as a stepping stone to graduate study and enroll in MA, PhD or JD programs after completing the undergraduate major or concentration in human rights.
