The Ethnicity, Race and First Nations Studies program is the first and only such degree program in Arizona. While other universities boast ethnic programs, ASU's program examines different cultures comparatively - studying the history, population and cultural diversity of the Americas from a wide range of perspectives. Students can obtain either a BA or a minor or certificate in Ethnicity, Race & First Nations Studies.
This integrated and interdisciplinary program examines both theoretical and applied perspectives as to how ethnicity and first nations shape our identities, literacy, public policies and communities. Students collaborate with faculty and community members to address concrete issues facing racial and ethnic groups and first nations.
