Human rights scholarship cuts across disciplines. This Interdepartmental Committee identifies a core of Columbia faculty members from different disciplines who have established interests in the field and who counsel graduate students in the selection of courses and research topics. The Committee supervises an expanding group of courses covering the major conceptual, historical and humanistic questions from the perspective of different disciplines. The program is designed primarily to complement a student’s disciplinary preparation for the dissertation; it also offers a certificate upon the completion of twenty-seven points of study. Participation is appropriate for students with career objectives related to human rights teaching, research, and professional practice and who have been admitted to and meet the degree requirements of the participating departments, namely Philosophy, Political Science, History, Sociology, Law, Social Work, and Public Health. In addition to using the University’s libraries, students have access to the collections of the University’s Center for the Study of Human Rights—country files, journals, curricular materials, and directories—and to the resources of the major human rights organizations based in the New York metropolitan area. Further details may be obtained from one of the Committee’s members or from the Center for the Study of Human Rights located in the International Affairs Building.
Applicants interested in a program of study leading to the Master of Arts should consider the Master of Arts in Human Rights Studies. For more information see Liberal Studies.
