Ethnic Studies Program

College of Social and Behavioral Sciences

This minor will help students understand and dissect the socially constructed concepts of race and ethnicity and how these concepts affect economic, political, and social phenomena. Students will also explore the intersection of race, class, and gender using critical thinking skills and multi-disciplinary and comparative perspectives.

A minor is earned in conjunction with a bachelor's degree.
