Welcome to the Ethnic Studies Department Website!

KingThe Department offers baccalaureate transferable courses and a departmental major that are designed to develop a comparative and multi-disciplinary understanding of the experiences of African Americans, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, Chicanos/Latinos, and Native Americans. Students study the histories, cultures, literatures, and politics of communities of color in the United States so that they can attain the knowledge that is vital for improving the lives and communities of various racial/ethnic groups, and for re-defining what has popularly been referred to as "American."
