Because human rights studies encompass a range of issues and methodologies from a variety of academic fields, Columbia's Special Concentration in Human Rights allows students to take courses from many different departments. The above link to the Fall 2009 courses lists the courses offered by the program, the courses offered by other departments that can automatically count as “Core courses” toward the concentration, and “Additional courses” that may be used to complete a track option in the concentration.
Courses preceded by the designator HRTS are Human Rights courses, sponsored by the Program. Courses preceded by the designator HR followed by other letters are co-sponsored by the Program and an academic department. The other courses are offered by the individual departments. For full bulletin descriptions where we have not provided them, check individual department bulletin or web site listings.
Information is as up-to-date as possible. Confirm time and location with the Registrar Directory of Classes or with the department.
