Become a Humane Educator and Be a Force for Change
Learning about human rights is one thing; making a difference and addressing injustice is another. As you think about what you’re most passionate about, what you love to do, and what you’re good at, consider whether humane education – a field through which you’ll bring your passion for social justice to others in ways that inspire positive action, compassionate choices, and solutionary thinking – might be the ideal career for you.
With our programs, you don’t have to choose between a human rights graduate degree or an environmental studies degree or an animal protection degree or an education degree. You can study all these issues through an intersectional and social justice lens that helps you teach others to be solutionaries who solve problems in ways that do the most good and least harm for everyone: all people, the environment, and animals.
Moreover, you’ll learn within an online community full of people who also care about creating a just and humane world. In fact, because people come to our graduate programs from many arenas and are passionate about different issues, you’ll get to learn with and from each other so that everyone is enriched and becomes a comprehensive educator connecting human rights, environmental sustainability, and animal protection. Plus you’ll receive your degree from the leader in progressive education, our partner Antioch University.

Become a Solutionary and Educate Others to Be Solutionaries
One of the most powerful ways that we can create change is to become a solutionary, a person who is able to identify unjust, inhumane, and unsustainable systems and then create solutions that do the most good and least harm for people, animals, and the environment. In our online graduate programs, you’ll not only learn how to become a solutionary yourself, and bring a solutionary lens to social justice issues that concern you, but also to educate others to be solutionaries. This kind of learning is positive, energizing, and hopeful.
If you find yourself despairing about injustice, we invite you to join a program that will provide powerful tools and ways of thinking to build an equitable future where all can thrive. Here’s a 90-second video to provide a taste of what solutionaries can and will achieve.
