Ethnic Studies Minor
Also available via Ecampus.
Ethnic Studies is an interdisciplinary field focused on critical engagement with the historical and ongoing ways in which race and ethnicity shape everyday life in the United States, but also within a global context. A minor in Ethnic Studies provides students with a strong background and set of analytical skills to address issues of difference and inequality in a wide range of areas, from policy, to institutions and community settings, to pop culture, media, and literature, and is a valuable complement to any major.
