Learn more about studying Human Rights as an international student.
What the University of Connecticut (in partnership with Kaplan International) says about their program:
The field of concentration in Human Rights gives students an understanding of the legal instruments, norms, and institutions that constitute contemporary human rights law, as well as the social movements, cultural practices, and literary and artistic representations that have and continue to imagine the human rights ethic in various ways. In recent years, the human rights dimensions of many of the most vexing and pertinent issues at the global, national, and local level have gained prominence - including the problems of environmental deterioration, economic inequality, and ethnic and religious conflict. Students who major in Human Rights will be better equipped not only to understand the complex nature of these and other issues, but also to develop and pursue novel approaches toward a better world. In addition to studying the manifold histories, theories, and practices of human rights in a systematic and comprehensive manner, students majoring in Human Rights will also develop more specialized methodological and topical expertise in a second discipline.

Kaplan International Pathways offers one-off scholarships, awarded as partial tuition discounts, to international students admitted to a degree or pathway program at a Kaplan partner university in the USA, including the University of Connecticut pathway program. These awards are based on the student's previous academic achievement and can be given either in addition to, or as an alternative to, a university-awarded scholarship such as UConn's own merit award. Undergraduate pathway applicants are eligible; students should speak with a Kaplan advisor to discuss eligibility and amount.
International students who apply for Fall Year 1 undergraduate admission to the University of Connecticut (including students conditionally admitted through the UCAELI pathway program who go on to matriculate into full-time degree study) are automatically considered for a merit scholarship worth up to 38% of undergraduate tuition, totaling as much as $60,000 over four years. No separate application is required; award is based on UConn's holistic review of the admissions application (academic achievement and leadership), and is renewable annually for up to 8 semesters of full-time study provided a minimum cumulative GPA is maintained.
