Why Study Social Equity & Social Change?
Examine how social inequality is shaped by social structures and what can be done to reduce the levels of inequity that exist.

Additionally, students will take courses that examine theories of effective social change and leadership. This background enables students to put this knowledge into practice and develop their leadership skills and voices as community leaders in the civic engagement courses that students complete to finish out the minor.
