Ethnic Studies

Ellen Arnold, Director, 2145 Bate Building

The ethnic studies minor requires 24 s.h. of credit. A maximum of 6 s.h. may be used to satisfy requirements for both foundations curriculum and the ethnic studies minor. A course may not count toward the student’s major degree and the ethnic studies minor. Study programs abroad having the prior approval of the director will be accepted for no more than 6 s.h. of credit toward the minor. Additional courses will be accepted 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.
