Program Details

Liberty University’s Bachelor of Science in Religion – Humanitarian Action and Human Rights degree program can help prepare students to help those who are in need and hurting. Whether they see themselves serving others locally, nationally, internationally, or a combination thereof, our program can help students get ready. Our courses help students shore up their foundational knowledge of the Bible and the History of Christianity. This foundation can help students learn to address human rights issues and humanitarian response through a biblical worldview. Practical skills that are applicable when providing humanitarian aid are discussed in their courses. Students can become equipped to address issues in areas such as disaster relief, human rights violations, human trafficking, the sanctity of life, and trauma healing. Specific courses required for the specialization are Introduction to Humanitarian Action, Humanitarian Action in Praxis, A Theology of Humanitarian Response, and Theological Foundations for Human Rights. Such practical knowledge can prepare students for different possible careers including advocacy advisors, Christian nonprofit workers, national or international humanitarian aid workers, ministry assistant or coordinators, outreach coordinators, refugee care workers, or similar. Students can maintain commitments to their jobs, families, and communities while continuing their education with Liberty University’s BS in Religion – Humanitarian Action and Human Rights.
