About- Official Perspective

A minor in ethnic studies is designed to introduce students to critical methodologies and scholarly approaches to understanding the diverse historical and cultural issues relating to ethnicity in the United States. At a time when America is becoming increasingly multicultural and when Americans are increasingly aware of the values of multiculturalism, participants in a minor in ethnic studies, both faculty and students, are encouraged to gain and develop skills to research, analyze, and reflect on the heritage of ethnic cultures in America. Such study will develop citizens, participants, and activists who have views of their larger mission in life and who strive daily, both locally and globally, in the pursuit of justice and equality.
