Degree Overview

This degree is offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, the University of Oregon’s intellectual hub that serves about two-thirds of its students with nearly 800 faculty members covering the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.

About the major

Students who study in the indigenous, race, and ethnic studies program will learn how to create greater social justice in our world.

Our department looks at the way that race is tied to many other issues, including gender, class, sexuality, migration, indigeneity, and colonialism. With our students, we investigate and critique examples of white supremacy, both historical and present. We focus not only on race in the United States, but also on migrations and diasporas (such as those that result from the slave trade, settler colonialism, and globalization).
