Major: Ethnic Studies, General

What do we mean when we say race? What about ethnicity? How has the immigrant experience changed in the last hundred years? How does a history that includes the enslavement, displacement, and exclusion of people of color shape the United States today? And how can we begin to overcome this legacy? These are some of the many questions you’ll explore as an ethnic studies major.

You’ll study ethnic groups from every angle to arrive at a greater understanding of our diverse world. To do so, you’ll take classes in disciplines that range from history, political science, economics, and sociology to literature, music, and art history.
