Liberal Arts
Race Gender, and Ethnicity Concentration
DESCRIPTION:
The proposed area of concentration in Race, Gender, and Ethnicity (RGE) in the
College of Liberal Arts is completely new. It does not exist as a major
or as a minor. Two departments, Political Science and Sociology, have
related certificates. In Political Science, students may receive a
certificate in Race Ethnicity, and Gender Politics; in Sociology, students may
receive certificates in the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity or the Sociology of
Gender. Therefore, although virtually all twelve departments and seven
interdisciplinary programs offer courses relevant to the study of Race, Gender,
and Ethnicity, only two departments have formal certificate programs that are
related.
Students will be required to meet distribution requirements in arts/humanities
and social sciences as well as distribution among courses focused on race, on
gender, and on ethnicity. They will choose a second concentration within
the College of Liberal Arts from among existing interdisciplinary or
departmental minors. To ensure breadth, students, will not be allowed to
double-count courses in the concentration and the minor. (For example,
students choosing a minor in Africana Studies or Women's Studies would not be
able to count courses in their minor to fulfill requirements in the
concentration.) Since this degree is a B.A., students will be required to
complete a four-course sequence in a foreign language.
