The Social Justice Bachelors Degree at Ohio Wesleyan University is designed for students passionate about understanding and addressing systemic inequalities. You will explore the complex dynamics of social injustice, examining issues of race, gender, global feminism, and poverty through an interdisciplinary lens. This programme equips you with the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary to deconstruct societal conflicts and advocate for meaningful change, preparing you to engage with pressing social issues both locally and globally. You will develop a nuanced understanding of the historical and structural roots of inequality.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, you will engage with a curriculum featuring required courses in social justice theory, structural inequality, and cultural expressions, alongside opportunities for mentored activism and research. The programme integrates practical experience through projects and potential service-learning, allowing you to apply your knowledge in real-world settings. You will graduate with a robust understanding of social justice principles and the practical skills to pursue careers in advocacy, policy, non-profit work, and community organising.
