Program Description

We are the only degree and tenure-granting Ethnic Studies Division in the intermountain west, giving us a newly gained national prominence across the country.

Our expertise as a field lies in forging critical awareness and knowledge of racial and ethnic differences and how these have shaped the landscapes we live in. This includes a focus on the distinctive social, political, cultural, linguistic and historical experiences of racialized groups in the United States.

We hope to equip our students with the ability to be lifelong learners and leaders wherever group differences, including other significant intersecting vectors of difference, vitally shape the landscapes they inhabit.

We hope to provide transformative experiences for our students, to enable them to be worldly and wise, so they, in turn, can transform the world towards a more just and equitable future. From building a sustainable environment to crafting policies that shape communities to elevating the understanding of the human condition, our majors have a unique perspective to contribute to their future endeavors.
