The ethnic studies minor is designed to allow students to study and focus their attention on the ethnic experiences in America. In addition, the minor provides courses that allow students to examine ethnicity in a broader international context. The courses included in the minor have been selected to focus the student’s study as well as to allow for individual flexibility. It is possible for Arts and Sciences majors to double minor in ethnic studies and women’s studies with minimal additional credits. The double minor is flexible enough for students to graduate on time while supporting virtually any major. By choosing the women’s studies/ethnic studies double minor, students also fulfill six hours of the Arts and Sciences Liberal Arts requirements as well as the three-hour cultural diversity requirement.
