On May 10th, 2022 Hunter will be using a new Course Catalog system provided by CUNY that will look and feel different than the current version. The new Course Catalog system will be the primary resource for course information for undergraduate and graduate courses. If you have any questions, please contact your Academic Department.
The approved list of cognates comprises courses drawn from 18 academic departments and programs, giving students a wide range of traditional disciplinary perspectives to examine claims about the universal nature of human rights, their historical origins, social and cultural contexts that affect the understanding and status of human rights, and the relation of human rights to political conflicts and the presence or absence of economic well-beingStudents should work with the Human Rights Program adviser to put together an intellectually meaningful set of cognate courses. Complementing these elective courses offered by regular Hunter departments, the Human Rights Program itself offers special elective courses taught at Roosevelt House each semester by distinguished human rights practitioners. To be accepted into the Certificate program, a student must have at least completed HR 20000 with a B and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0.
