The Human Rights Certificate program aims to expand your knowledge of human rights while incorporating diverse academic fields to address human rights challenges. These fundamental rights uphold every person's intrinsic worth, advocating for and safeguarding this dignity irrespective of birth circumstances, skin color, cultural background, gender identity, national origin, ethnicity, faith, sexual preference, or any other characteristic.
As a University of Iowa human rights scholar, you'll develop skills to analyze social issues thoughtfully and create responses to human rights challenges across various domains including youth protection, civic leadership, environmental sustainability, learning access, healthcare, food insecurity and economic hardship, migration, rights of women and marginalized communities, economic progress, and large-scale conflicts.
