American Ethnic Studies brings an innovative approach to the critical study of race and ethnicity in relation to power by centering the lived experiences of communities of color in American societies. By using diverse perspectives—both from these communities and from a variety of academic fields—the program enables students to engage in unique, respectful scholarly research, dialogue and community engagements. The program extends its field of study to analyze the complicating effects of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, and global and transnational identities and experiences. Students choose one of four concentrations to help customize their studies: African American Studies, Asian American/Pacific Islander Studies, Chicano/a Studies or Comparative AES. Alumni use their cultural competency, communication skills and advanced understanding of complex relationships and institutions to succeed in a variety of careers in the public and private sectors.
