Ethnic Studies Minor

The Ethnic Studies program is designed to help you develop a breadth and depth of understanding of ethnicity and its significance in contemporary American society. As you analyze the ethnic experience from an interdisciplinary perspective, you will gain a background in the theories and concepts required to understand and interpret inter- and intra-group relations in the United States. The Ethnic Studies minor focuses on the history, culture and contemporary situation of Asian Americans, African Americans, Latinos and American Indians. Students apply this knowledge in a variety of careers involving intercultural relations.

Other Programs

We also offer a certificate program in Cultural Diversity Studies designed to appeal to undergraduate students with a background in any major.

As well, please check out our workshops and seminars covering topics like multi racial and multi cultural family issues, genocide in the 21st century, and cultural diversity in the workplace.
