American Indian Studies Minor

The minor in American Indian Studies combines seamlessly with any major to build a solid foundation in understanding American Indian and Indigenous communities in the US and around the world, and is excellent preparation for students who might want to seek employment in issues related to those communities. Coursework on contemporary issues, environment and sustainability, education, law and policy, culture, arts, gender, and more will prepare students to excel in a host of careers that are related to their major and to succeed in agencies, schools, tribal governments, private businesses, and other organizations working with Indigenous communities and individuals. AIS has minors whose majors range from Biological Sciences to Communications to Sociology to Marketing and more, and our minors have gone on to careers ranging from medicine to state and tribal government to human resource management.
