Ethnic American Literatures Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees & Academic Programs

Drawing on classes from ethnic studies, Native American studies, and English, this interdisciplinary minor provides the opportunity to study the diverse literatures of multi-ethnic American writers. Students gain an understanding of the comparative histories, cultures, and resistance movements of ethnic groups in the U.S. through ES 105  or ES 308 , required for the minor.

To complete the minor, take another 12 units in ethnic American literature and culture, including ENGL 336 /ES 336 /WS 336 - U.S. Writers of Color  . Courses might concentrate on the literary traditions of a particular group (e.g., African American, Asian American, Indigenous, Latinx literatures) or examine multi-ethnic U.S. literatures in a comparative way. Various special topics courses also may apply, depending on the topic and subject to advisor approval. This minor can be particularly useful for those planning careers in teaching, social work, business, law, journalism, and community development.
