Multi-Ethnic Studies


Coordinator Keith D. Leonard, Department of Literature

Note: Faculty from other schools and departments of the university teach in the program.

Multi-Ethnic Studies is an interdisciplinary program that offers a broad course of study of ethnicity in the United States and the larger world. To meet the challenges and opportunities of diversity in an increasingly multicultural and multiethnic society, the program provides students with an understanding of the rich history of ethnic and racial diversity from multiple perspectives. The minor and undergraduate certificate help students prepare for an increasingly diversified workplace and a globalized economy by encouraging them to develop an awareness of and appreciation for their ethnic experiences as part of the greater human experience.
