Welcome . . .
to the Ethnic
Studies Minor homepage. Ethnic Studies at UW-River Falls is an interdisciplinary
minor that provides an excellent complement to many majors on campus.
The program focuses on the experience of African Americans, Asian Americans,
Latino Americans, and Native Americans. In examining these groups, the
program provides curriculum that explores the intersection between race,
ethnicity, gender, and class in the context of U.S. institutions. In addition,
the program provides curriculum that compares race, ethnicity, gender,
and class between the U.S. and international contexts.
We encourage students
to consider a Double Minor in Ethnic Studies
and Women's Studies. The double minor provides an in depth exploration
of issues surrounding race, ethnicity, and gender. Also, it is practical
as students can complete the double minor with minimal additional credits.
