• About Us

Welcome to the Ethnic Studies Program at
The Ohio State University!

With a university-wide commitment to building diversity among faculty, staff and students, the Ohio State University have also exemplified a commitment to diversifying intellectual exchanges.  In 2003 the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences established the Ethnic Studies program to foster the development and growth of interdisciplinary programs

The Ethnic Studies Program at the Ohio State University consists of American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, and Latino/a Studies. There are undergraduate minors in Asian American and Latino/a Studies. Currently under development is an undergraduate minor in American Indian Studies and graduate concentrations in Asian American Studies and Latino/a Studies. 

Courses in American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies and Latino/a Studies are available in various departments of the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences.  These courses fulfill minor requirements as well as requirements for the undergraduate General Educational Curriculum.  

As our world becomes increasingly globalized, the ability to interact with people from a diversity of cultural, linguistic and racial boundaries is essential. The Ethnic Studies Program aims to bridge the social aspect and academic aspect through partnerships with the Multicultural Center and other OSU programs and offices. It offers programming geared toward students as well as providing a place for students to offer input that influences curricula of Ethnic Studies Program.
