The “Social Justice in Society” Concentration gives students a broad background in the discipline overall, and in keeping with the centrality of social justice to Loyola’s mission, this concentration allows students to focus their coursework on the substantive topics of social inequality, social change, and social justice. The Social Justice in Society Concentration is well suited for students interested in a broad range of careers, advocacy, and courses of graduate study in fields including: law school and legal practice in areas such as civil rights law, gender-based violence, immigration law; public policy and public administration concerning issues for marginalized populations (e.g., homelessness, education, job training/placement, housing, residency status, post-incarceration reentry, voting rights, etc.); social work and human services; teaching and educational leadership and policy; higher education and student affairs; advocacy and non-profit management in organizations that serve marginalized populations; labor organizing and collective bargaining; research for labor unions, social service agencies, and/or non-profit organizations.
