• Native American studies provide excellent preparation for graduate and doctoral studies in a variety of fields or professional careers such as teaching, law, business, human services, health, tribal administration, social work, and human resources management. Graduate and professional schools and employers are looking for students with a broad interdisciplinary preparation and who possess knowledge and sensitivity relating to ethnic issues and cultural diversity.
  • Students in Native American studies may choose from three plans within the major. The first plan concentrates chiefly on the Native American Experience north of Mexico, the second plan on Meso-America and the third plan on South America. Each plan also includes course work covering other indigenous cultures of the Americas, including the literature, culture and arts of the native cultures. Students will work with faculty with research interests in history, religion and philosophy, social sciences, languages and literature, Indian law and the performing arts.
