Bachelor of Arts - Social Justice

Ohio Wesleyan University’s interdisciplinary social justice major brings together coursework, faculty expertise, and practical experience from many fields to help students cultivate the knowledge and skills to analyze social injustices and work toward positive social change. They will develop the knowledge and skills to think critically on the meaning of social justice locally and globally, examine the dynamics of societal conflicts, and analyze social issues from many perspectives.

The major also is highly flexible, allowing students to deeply explore issues related to areas such as race, global feminism, gender, Latin American culture, labor economics, poverty, civil rights, and the environment.

Students will supplement their classwork with practical experience in an applied project, and they will have opportunities to explore other cultures through Travel-Learning Courses, Theory-to-Practice Grants, and service-learning projects.
