Activism, Advocacy, and Social Change Minor

The Activism, Advocacy, and Social Change minor is a way for you to concentrate on current activism, advocacy, and social change.

With concentrations of American communities, you will be exposed to the approaches used in activism, advocacy, and social change. You will also be challenged to express your opinions in and outside of the classroom.
