Undergraduate
Social Justice Studies
Simpson is the only Iowa liberal arts school to offer a Social Justice Studies major.
Social Justic Studies major and minor
Social Justice Studies explores the important terrain between ideals of justice and the everyday local and global experiences and expressions of injustice.
The major educates critical thinkers on the history of oppression. It encourages creative and committed thinking from various interdisciplinary perspectives to create an informed global and local citizenship committed to strategic, committed, accountable, and reflexive engagement in social justice work.
We know that today’s high school and college-aged students are not simply content with accepting things as they are, so we created a way for you to be the voice of change and improve the world.
Become an active change agent in improving lives in the local and global communities. An increasing number of students like you are working as volunteers, activists, or advocates in the hope of serving others. It is more than volunteering to help the world. You are the voice that works with the government to make policy or environmental changes.
