Welcome
Misson Statement
The Ethnic Studies Department is designed for students who desire to complement their major course
of study with an understanding and examination of American racial and ethnic groups, namely African-
Americans, American Indians, Asian Pacific Americans, Chicano/as and Latino/a Americans. Our courses provide
insight into the histories, contributions, social/cultural developments, intellectual and creative expressions
and present circumstances of these groups in the United States. Ethnic Studies is multidisciplinary, offering
opportunities for global and comparative analysis between ethnic minority groups, indigenous communities,
and their relations in their ancestral homelands.
