Native American Studies

The Native American Studies program exists to provide a point of academic focus and identity for Native American students and to broaden the understanding of other students interested in the history, culture, and contemporary situations of Native Americans. The curriculum has been structured to provide courses that deal with both historical and cultural analysis of Native American cultures and contemporary legal and social institutions that affect Native American life. The program not only stresses sound academic preparation in the classroom but also allows students the flexibility to take part in community-oriented education through field work or studies directed toward community situations and problems.
