Ethnic studies is an interdisciplinary
program that uses cross-cultural comparative methods to explore the diverse
histories and cultures of ethnic groups in the US, to examine the formation of
identities and societies in local, national, and global contexts, and to
analyze the social, cultural, and political sources of bias and discrimination.
The ethnic studies minor requires 24
s.h. of credit. A maximum of 6 s.h. may be used to satisfy requirements for
both the foundations curriculum and the
ethnic studies minor. A course may not count both toward
the student’s major degreerequirements and the ethnic studies minor requirements. Study programs abroad having the
prior approval of the director willmay be accepted
for no more thanup to 6 s.h. of
credit toward the minor. Additional courses willmay be acceptedapproved by the director
if they significantly further the student’s understanding of ethnic
studies. Departmental prerequisites may be waived in special cases by the
department offering the course.
