In the Social Justice degree program students will develop a foundational understanding of the civil and criminal justice systems, community organizations, social movements, and the impact of bias, discrimination, and inequality. Current and historical social issues and movements will be included in the coursework (mass incarceration, real estate redlining, and inequality in healthcare).
Graduates may continue their education in a Bachelor’s degree program and/or immediately join the workforce. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, careers in community and social services will grow faster than average (approximately 14%) by 2026.
Admissions Requirements:
Prior to placement in college-level Math and English courses, students are required to complete a placement test to determine if the student is adequately prepared or if the student would benefit from college preparation courses. College preparation courses qualify for financial aid but do not count towards degree completion.
