The Catholic University of America - Human Rights Program

The Master of Arts in Human Rights, developed by the Institute for Human Ecology (IHE), is designed for graduate students from the United States as well as abroad, with diverse academic interests and backgrounds, who wish to study human rights from a distinctly Catholic perspective. It draws upon existing courses of several schools at The Catholic University of America. The interdisciplinary degree is awarded by the School of Arts and Sciences through the Center for Human Rights associated with the IHE. The program’s director is William Saunders, J.D., who has years of experience in these issues.
