Undergraduate Program
The Major
Majors in Ethnic Studies take comparative core courses on "race" and ethnicity and select one major area of concentration from the following: African American Studies, Asian Pacific American Studies, Chicana/o Latina/o Studies, Native American Studies. In addition majors must complete a nine-credit graded internship working with an entity that provides service to one or more of the ethnic communities named above. The internship credits count as part of the total required hours for the major (51), and therefore carries a grade. In addition to an area of specialization, students are encouraged to take additional upper-division courses comparative studies.
The Minor
Minors in Ethnic Studies take core courses on "race" and ethnicity and select a major area of concentration from those listed under the major. The minor internship, which is optional, consists of three credits.
Ethnic Studies majors and minors must satisfy all University Baccalaureate Core and College of Liberal Arts requirements for the BA or BS degree.
