You want to promote a more just society. You want to understand and experience cultures that go beyond your own background. With Hartwick’s minor in Race and Ethnic studies, you’ll be more fully prepared to participate in an increasingly diverse world.
Many Career Paths

EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITIES
J Term experiences will give you the chance to experience a variety of cultures up close. Immerse yourself in the traditions of Japan, or study how food and business intersect in Portugal.
Intern with organizations designed to promote equity and social justice - you can even apply for scholarships to help support international travel!
And on campus, experience your fellow Hawks culture first hand through dance performances, lectures, food and more with clubs and organizations designed to celebrate diversity.
AN EDUCATION BUILT FOR YOU
Hartwick’s interdisciplinary program brings together courses in literature, art, anthropology, religion and more to deepen your understanding of what race, culture and ethnicity truly means.
Read works by African American and Native American authors. Learn more about Islam, Buddhism and Voodoo. Examine art, archeology and anthropology, and explore the socially constructed “nature” of race and ethnicity.
In your junior and senior year, you’ll work with your faculty advisor to analyze and explore significant social and ethical issues, all from different cultural and ethnic perspectives. Present your findings at Student Showcase, or even an academic conference!
