Registration for spring classes opened Thursday, Nov. 21, for undergraduate students, and an option for students who are looking to add to their academic experience is a minor in Race and Ethnicity.
The minor is offered through the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Department of History in partnership with the Institute on Race and Ethnicity and can be combined with any major course of study.
The minor is focused on the study of the history of race and ethnicity and topics related to racial and ethnic justice, and is designed to inform a new generation of progressive thinkers and doers.
“Providing focused study opportunities that deal with race and ethnicity is a priority for the Institute,“ said Dr. Michael R. Twyman, director of the Institute.
“Offering students the Minor in Race and Ethnicity is essential to preparing future leaders who are equipped to address how race and ethnicity work in the larger context of societal issues.”
