American Indian and Indigenous Studies Minor

The American Indian and Indigenous Studies minor focuses on the experiences of American Indian and Indigenous people in the Americas from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, which includes Anthropology, Art, English, History, Political Science, Sociology, and Gender and Sexuality Studies. This minor will provide an academic and scholarly foundation for students to study and interpret the needs and social/cultural, political, educational, and historical conditions of American Indians and Indigenous peoples in North America. It will help prepare students to work in settings that require an understanding of tribal sovereignty and serving and interacting with this diverse population.

Please see the UNLV College of Liberal Arts Department of Interdisciplinary, Gender, and Ethnic Studies webpage for information about department programs, faculty and facilities. Degree worksheets and 4/5 year plans for the minor are available on the UNLV Degrees Directory.
