The Ethnic Studies Program of the University of Utah (ESPUU) is a scholarly
program with focus on the distinctive social, political, cultural, linguistic
and historical experiences of ethnic minorities in the United States. Its
specific focus is the cultures, histories and experiences of American Indian
and Americans of African, Asian, and Mexican descent. Four programs currently
constitute the Ethnic Studies Program: African American, Asian Pacific
American, Chicana/o, and the American Indian Studies. With the exception
of the Asian Pacific American Studies Program, each program offers a minor.
Academic Advising for Ethnic Studies Minors. The directors of
the programs also act as advisers to students interested in a minor in
an Ethnic Studies area, and can help the student understand the specific
academic requirements of the minor. Students should consult with the appropriate
minor adviser to set up a program and to have the minor officially
declared.
