Roosevelt University proudly presents an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts in Social Justice Studies. Hosted by the Department of Law, Society, and Sustainability, this program equips students with practical and conceptual approaches drawn from sociology, political science, sustainability studies, history, and economics to analyze social justice theories and movements. The curriculum explores diverse topics such as economic equity, racial equality, gender rights, disability advocacy, and immigrant protections. This interdisciplinary degree centers on social justice issues, blending theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, and content from multiple academic fields. Learners develop skills to critically evaluate systemic inequalities through personal narratives, conceptual models, and factual evidence, examining both domestic and international contexts. The program's cross-disciplinary approach establishes a framework for analyzing the root causes of injustice while exploring pathways for meaningful change. Social Justice Studies students at Roosevelt University aim not just to comprehend existing oppressive structures but to actively reshape systems toward a future that upholds universal human rights and dignity.

If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts.
Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
