The Multicultural Studies Minor provides students with insight into various cultures and the interaction of differing cultures in a single society. Particular focus is given to groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the study of the history, politics, economics, literature and arts of the Southwestern United States. Further, focus is given to issues of people and countries as part of a global socioeconomic and political structure. The insights gained through this minor will be useful to those working with underrepresented populations in the U. S. and internationally, as well as, those who simply seek a fuller understanding of societies globally.
