American Indian & Native Studies
The American Indian and Native Studies Program (AINSP) focuses on the histories, cultures, literatures, and contemporary legal and political issues of Native Americans of the United States and other indigenous peoples of the Americas.
AINSP offers a certificate and a minor. Both programs combine well with a variety of undergraduate majors and provide background for jobs involving cross-cultural work that involves ethnic, social, and political diversity. They also help you prepare for advanced study and training in museum work, health care, business, and law.
