The American & Ethnic Studies major at the University of Washington Bothell offers students the opportunity to study the relationships in American history between minority and majority groups. Academic and other learning experiences enhance students' ability for future work in human services, work in politics, or in community organizing for underrepresented populations. Using critical thinking and decision-making skills learned through the study of American culture and beyond, students will explore values, ideas, belief systems, and creative expression to examine the relationships between everyday life, power structures, and culture.
