College of Ethnic Studies

The College of Professional & Global Education offers this online degree completion program in partnership with the College of Ethnic Studies.

The College of Ethnic Studies was established in fall 1969 through the efforts of dedicated students, faculty and community members.

The five departments and one program — Africana Studies, American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Latina/Latino Studies and Race & Resistance Studies — offer over 175 courses each semester to meet the needs of 6,000 students. The curriculum assists students complete their general education; pursue a personal interest in ethnic studies; teach subjects in elementary, secondary, community and college level institutions; or critically inform their professional and vocational skills in areas such as business, social welfare, law and medicine.

The ethnic studies field is unique as an educational experience that redefines the lives of people of color from their own perspectives. This is implemented through the cooperative efforts of students, faculty and members of the community invested in meaningful education who provide resources and curricula to the university and the community at large.

The curriculum fosters both a comprehensive understanding of the unique experiences of African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans and Latinas/Latinos in the United States and intersectional analysis amongst the different communities.
