Ethnic Studies (M.A.)

Overview

The Ethnic Studies Master of Arts equips students with transformative knowledge that makes them critical agents for change toward emancipatory processes.

We are committed to nurturing students to become culturally aware, astute, civic-minded individuals who strive to strengthen the communities in which they reside.

Students will have the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills by engaging oppression through interdisciplinary literature and mastering the fundamentals of ethnic studies. Classes are constructed to not only teach students about oppressive systems in society, but to use theoretical, empirical, and community-based research and pedagogy toward a grounded critical praxis. It is through this engagement that students learn to communicate with other professionals and apply their knowledge in the world.
