The Poverty Studies minor allows students to study poverty and social justice issues through the lens of many disciplines and undergraduate research. Students will begin their journey into understanding national and global poverty with an introductory course. They will choose two elective courses, drawn from a range of disciplines, experience the effects and causes of poverty first hand through an internship or travel experience, and complete their study with a capstone course that emphasizes a research paper or project dealing with a facet of poverty of interest to them.
