Picture Yourself In Our Major

An innovative and interdisciplinary degree, we focus on training students in areas that impact human welfare locally, nationally and globally. The program has a distinctive emphasis on urban issues and environments and the role that ethics plays in how policies, politics and practices shape the quality of life for human beings in our state, nation and the world.

Courses for the last two years of this program are held at Rowan's Camden campus.
