LL.M. Specialization in Human Rights

To be awarded the specialization in Human Rights, a student must obtain a B- (2.7) grade average in courses taken for this specialization (and earn a minimum of ten units of credit from at least four courses within the specialization). Detailed course descriptions are linked in the listings below. Prospective students should bear in mind that, due to curriculum scheduling and faculty availability, not every class listed is taught each year. This is most often true in the case of seminar courses. A sufficient number of courses will be available to enable those students who choose to specialize to satisfy the specialization requirements.
