Honors Integrated Minor in Human Rights

Program Description

All of the Honors Integrated Minors offer unique field and service opportunities connected to coursework. The Integrated Minor in Human Rights and Resources focuses on topics surrounding how the unequal distribution of natural and cultural resources shapes human experience, both within and beyond the traditional language of human rights.

The Minor includes two distinct tracks: Utah and Mexico. The Mexico version of the minor includes 5 weeks of coursework and language instruction in Mexico City and Oaxaca during the summer. The Utah version of the minor includes an intensive field experience during Fall Break to locations such as Bears Ears, the west side of Salt Lake City valley, and the Navajo Nation.

Academic and Career Opportunities

The training and experiences gained by students who complete the minor will help prepare them to make unique contributions in their chosen professional fields. For students pursuing careers in the sciences, the minor will allow them to place their disciplinary expertise in larger humanistic frameworks. For students whose career paths lie outside of the sciences, the minor offers an opportunity to think about pressing global issues in the context of specific forms of disciplinary knowledge, including those drawn from the STEM-affiliated fields.
