What is an Ethnic Studies Minor?
The Ethnic Studies minor introduces students to theoretical and critical analyses of race and ethnicity. In this minor, students will explore the ways in which these categories have historically evolved, their relationships to power and inequality, and their intersections with gender, sexuality, class, and culture. ES coursework is comparative and interdisciplinary and offers essential perspectives on four underrepresented groupsAfrican Americans, Asian Americans, Chicano(as)/Latino(as), and Native Americans. In addition to its strong academic curriculum and dedicated faculty, the Ethnic Studies Minor is committed to developing relationships with organizations whose work strengthens multicultural and multiracial relationships locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Students involved in the Ethnic Studies Minor are encouraged to seek out internships which provide them the opportunity to incorporate community service with their academic training..
