Approved Courses by Thematic Group
Course Categories by Thematic Group
These thematic groups only apply to students admitted to Human Rights and Social Justice before fall 2024. Students admitted in fall 2024 and beyond, and previously admitted students who have changed to the 2024-25 program requirements, will follow the thematic groups indicated on their audit. All students are recommended to consult with the department when choosing their courses.
Not all courses listed here are offered every year. Check Carleton Central to determine which courses are offered in a given term. Some of the Human Rights Electives have prerequisites that are not explicitly included in the program. Students should plan to have credit for the prerequisites of each course in their program or ask to have the prerequisite waived.
