About the Department

Grapple with profound issues of race and ethnicity that are pivotal in our American story.

Courses span the liberal arts disciplines, and community-based learning engages students with people and perspectives different than their own. Our students graduate with the intellectual agility and cultural competency to succeed in a wonderfully interconnected world.
