Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
Students work with faculty advisors to devise self-designed majors. Coursework in the major builds upon students’ experiences in the general education curriculum while providing students with pathways to deepen their knowledge or further develop their passion in a particular area of study.
Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
Critical Race Theory is an approach to better understanding the role of race in the creation of legal, economic, and social systems, and a way to spotlight the inequities in our society. As part of the general education curriculum, all students are expected to take at least one course that exams race and ethnicity, and that specifically covers privilege, intersectionality, structural and personal forms of discrimination, and social constructions. These ideas can also form the basis for a self-designed major.
Some courses that can satisfy the general education requirement in critical race and ethnic studies or support a self-designed major in this area.
