In September 1998, Trinity College launched the Human Rights Program, the first undergraduate program of its kind in the nation.  A Program with curricular and co-curricular dimensions, the Human Rights Program engages students in courses that investigate a fascinating range of human rights issues and historical situations.

The Program presents a yearlong lecture series that brings distinguished human rights activists and scholars to Trinity College to report on the front-line struggles in international human rights.  Students have the exceptional opportunity to become involved in authentic human rights advocacy work through the Human Rights Program’s Summer Fellowship with a variety of human rights organizations.

The Human Rights Program prepares students to hold a conversation with the world and to make a difference in it.  Students are well positioned for graduate studies in a wide range of fields, as well as for challenging and rewarding careers as advocates.
