Law, Diversity and Justice Concentration

Interdisciplinary concentration – the individually designed major. the fairhaven college interdisciplinary concentration: law, diversity & justice emphasis provides an opportunity for developing an individually designed major for the bachelor of arts degree. it allows maximal flexibility in formulating a program to meet personal and career goals, bringing together each student’s vital interests from more than one discipline into a cohesive whole. the self-designed concentration process allows students to work with a faculty committee to articulate a sound rationale for their area of study and to develop a plan including courses, independent study projects, senior projects and, where applicable, internships and apprenticeships. students are assisted in completing the concentration by faculty and other advisors and by the fair 303a, concentration seminar course. the concentration proposal rationale statement and accompanying concentration course list form the plan of study for the interdisciplinary concentration major, after approval by the student’s concentration committee and filed in the fairhaven college records office. as part of this plan of study, a minimum of three quarters of coursework, completing a minimum of 36 credits is required after the concentration filing quarter.

With an interdisciplinary degree with this emphasis, the options are wide-ranging. examples of careers of fairhaven alumni with this degree include: attorney, domestic violence legal advocate, writer, tribal government leader, social entrepreneur, human resource professional, non-profit leader, social worker and community activist.
