About the Ethnic Studies Undergraduate Minor Program

The college offers an interdisciplinary minor in ethnic studies. The goal of the program is to increase students’ understanding of the nature and development of race relations in a globalized society. Students may, if they wish, specialize in African-American, Mexican-American, or Native-American studies. All students minoring in ethnic studies must complete at least 18 hours in ethnic content courses. No more than three courses may be taken in one department. At least 6 hours of upper-division coursework is required.
