The United States, California and the Santa Barbara area have a great variety of peoples of different ethnic, racial and cultural backgrounds. All of these groups make up the American mosaic. The American Ethnic Studies Department examines the heritage, contributions and problems of these communities.
Current emphasis is placed on the Asian-American, African-American, Mexican-American, Native American and other communities of color. It is the department's belief that, through an examination of the heritage of others, one can appreciate one's own heritage.
Degrees in Ethnic Studies can be for social work, community agency work, teaching, etc. The department also offers courses which fulfill the Multicultural/Gender Equity requirement and General Education requirements in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
