Bachelor of Arts - Human Rights

Our liberal arts approach to the Bachelor of Arts will provide you with exposure to a wide range of academic fields. The opportunity to tailor your degree to your interests—those you had before and those you discover along the way—will allow you to diversify your knowledge, experience, and perspective.

Human Rights

Human rights are codified laws that government is obligated to provide and protect. The study of Human Rights is about training individuals in law concerning the broader field of rights in Canada and around the world.
For human rights to be codified into law, there’s often a period of time where the fight for those rights take place—this is through activism. We take an in-depth look at specific issue areas where that fight is still ongoing.

DISCOVERING HUMAN RIGHTS

The Human Rights Program at St. Thomas is one of the few such programs in all of Canada, and the only one in Atlantic Canada, that allows undergraduate students to obtain an Honours or Major in the academic study of Human Rights. In this program, you study Human Rights in a national and international context and do individualized research projects on specific topics in your upper years of study.

The program provides knowledge of the philosophy, legal instruments, and political institutions that are the foundation for an education in Human Rights.
