Comparative U.S. Race and Ethnicity Minor

This minor exposes students to key content, methodologies, and theories in the comparative study of African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, Chicanos, and Latinos in the United States. Students explore various methodologies and core concepts within the social sciences and humanities. Students develop a general knowledge of how diverse racial and ethnic individuals and groups have historically interacted with one another and might redefine themselves today. This minor draws from courses in a number of disciplines and academic approaches and encourages social awareness, critical thinking, the development of new perspectives, and artistic appreciation.
