The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree in Ethnic Studies aims to develop students’ core competencies in the social sciences, arts and humanities while examining the experiences, histories and formation of diverse racial and ethnic groups in the United States and globally. The program will prepare students for a broad range of academic and professional careers in both the public and private sectors. Students will analyze the interrelationships among historical background, cultural patterns, artistic expressions, and politics in order to achieve a well-rounded, in-depth understanding of the ongoing relations amongst Asian, Asian American, African, African American, Latino/a and indigenous peoples of the United States. Students completing this program can transfer seamlessly into the B.A. degree in Latino Studies at Lehman College/CUNY without the loss of credits.
