Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Are you thinking that you'd like to do something with Human Rights and Human Diversity, but not sure how it might lead to a career?
Here are some suggestions for programs and options you might combine with our Human Rights and Human Diversity program to tailor your education to your aspirations.
Consider combining Human Rights and Human Diversity with an honours degree in Law and Society, Criminology, History or English.
Or, you can fastrack by combining Human Rights and Human Diversity with a law degree from Sussex University (UK) in just six years.
Consider combining Human Rights and Human Diversity with the Leadership Option. NGOs need people with strong administrative skills who know how to work in teams. The Non-profit Career Skills Specialization can help you develop these. You might also consider the Issue Advocacy Option – in this media-savvy world, NGOs (and government and business) can use people who have the skills to navigate it.
Consider taking our combined Human Rights and Human Diversity / Human Resources Management (with Conestoga College) program.
Consider combining Human Rights and Human Diversity with an honours degree in Law and Society or Criminology.
You might consider adding the International Development Specialization to your honours degree in Human Rights and Human Diversity. Note: You'll probably require postgraduate study in International Development to complete your preparation.
Consider combining Human Rights and Human Diversity with another honours degree in a more traditional discipline such as Psychology, Criminology, History or English. While there are master's programs directly related Human Rights, this will give you more options to pursue research with a human rights focus.
Consider combining Human Rights and Human Diversity with an honours degree in Youth and Children's Studies.
Although our honours program is still fairly new (we started in 2008), our grads are off to a great start. Here's a summary of what some of them have gone on to do.
"What I love most about my program are all the opportunities it provides. I was able to take part in a Community Service-Learning placement, where I volunteered in an ESL classroom. I also participated in a three-week field course in Mexico on human migration, where I was able to visit and interview refugees. It is these experiences that will set me apart from other students in the future when I am applying for graduate school or a job, which is exactly why I love my program so much." – Cassandra Voets (BA '19)
