Native American and Indigenous Studies

Students may earn a minor in Native American and Indigenous studies. The primary goal of the minor is to help students understand contemporary and historic native lives through attention to the politics, cultures, identities, and practices of Native American and indigenous peoples. A secondary goal of the program is to encourage student awareness of the ethnic and cultural dimensions and applications of other major fields. Students of literature, social sciences, education, urban planning, art history, humanities, international studies—to name only a few—find that related Native American and Indigenous studies courses can enrich their academic programs.

Courses applied to a minor in Native American and Indigenous studies may be used to satisfy major or minor requirements for other programs.

Specific details and course approvals must be obtained from the Native American Studies Program.

Requirements for the Minor

The Native American and Indigenous Studies minor requires 28 credits. At least 16 credits must be taken in residence at the University of Oregon. Up to 4 credits may be counted toward the minor from a list of related courses that fall outside the core of Native American studies but that focus on other issues closely related to the field. Courses must be taken for a grade, and grades must be mid-C or higher to count toward the minor. The course load is distributed as follows:
