About the JCL and SDC Majors, HASS Division, and UIC
- The Justice and Civil Leadership Major
The Justice and Civil Leadership (JCL) major aims to develop future leaders equipped with critical skills necessary to resolve complex issues of justice facing governments and civil society. In this program, ‘justice’ is understood as a multi-dimensional phenomenon related to the individual, family, and society, involving both public and private sectors, and arising in domestic and international contexts. As such, students majoring in the JCL major are expected to acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to advance justice in diverse settings. This requires broad training across the humanities and social sciences. Students will further hone their critical and analytic thinking through instruction in legal theory, legal philosophy, law and society as well as in selected fields of law.
- The Sustainable Development and Cooperation Major
The Sustainable Development and Cooperation (SDC) major aims to equip students to pursue a future in international development, which encompasses a broad range of development issues such as, poverty reduction, inequality, human rights, health, education, economic growth, and environmental preservation. Students will acquire theoretical and conceptual skills that enable them to address a wide variety of development issues from the perspectives of diverse academic disciplines including economics, politics, anthropology, and history. Students will also develop practical field experience as a development practitioner and play an informed role in the struggle for the improvement of human life.
