Defend the Defenseless in Times of Crisis with a Bachelor of Science in Religion – Humanitarian Action and Human Rights
In the last decade alone, we have seen countless humanitarian crises occur both nationally and worldwide. Those who respond to crises and serve the hurting need to be led by someone who has a strong knowledge of human rights, biblical and theological principles, and human nature. If you want to be part of this response, training is required so you can adequately address issues as they arise. Whether you envision yourself serving others locally, nationally, or internationally, you can benefit from Liberty’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Religion – Humanitarian Action and Human Rights.
