Race-Ethnic Studies allows students interested in African American and African Diaspora and Latino Studies to develop a focus of study in both programs. This field leads to a broad understanding of the minority experience in the United States and those of diaspora peoples; how the phenomena of race, gender, and class have influenced communities and individuals; how minority groups define themselves and what strategies they have utilized for survival; who the people called African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans are.
