The Minor in Ethnic Studies is designed to help students acquire a deeper understanding of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity by centering the cultural work, histories, and perspectives of people of color. This interdisciplinary minor will provide students an opportunity to study the structural inequities and injustices based on racial and ethnic differences while also stressing the epistemological contributions of people of color toward a more just society, both within and beyond the United States.
