PEACE PROFILE: Graduate Studies in Human Rights Education

The Department of International and Multicultural Education (IME) within the University of San Francisco’s School of Education is proud to offer the first and only graduate program in Human Rights Education (HRE) in the United States. This program, first launched in fall 2008, has already dramatically changed our student enrollment, both in growth and in attracting more students from other states, as well as around the world. Although in its initial stage, our hope is that it will provide a model that other schools of education nationwide can adapt for their own student populations.

Reimagining Doctoral Education

The School of Education (SOE) of the University of San Francisco (USF), an urban, Jesuit institution, serves nearly 1,100 students across more than 20 programs. Its mission centers around a commitment to “serving those most in need,” bringing in students who are educators and organizers, advocates and policy-makers, and those who aspire to make an impact to fulfill the university’s motto to “Change the World from Here.”
