America and the world are defined by ethnic diversity — and understanding it from multiple disciplinary angles is one of the most important things a liberally educated person can do. GCU's Multiethnic Studies minor draws on history, literature, criminal justice, communication, social work, and more to examine ethnic and racial communities with an interdisciplinary, comparative approach.

The Multiethnic Studies minor allows students to gain expertise through interdisciplinary study of diverse social groups, encouraging a comparative approach to understanding ethnicity, race, culture, migration, and intercultural dynamics. Courses focus predominantly on ethnic, indigenous, and immigrant groups in the United States, while global coverage enhances the program’s international perspective. Students also develop communication, analytic, and research skills for globalized work environments.
A minimum of 15 credits is required for the Multiethnic Studies minor from at least three different disciplines, with no more than 9 credits in one discipline and a minimum of 6 credits at the 300 level or higher. Half of the required courses must be taken at Georgian Court University. Courses can be chosen from the list of approved Multiethnic Studies courses listed below, or students may apply to the director of the criminal justice program for approval of a course that is not listed, including study abroad courses if applicable. Courses in the minor may also be used to meet applicable requirements in General Education or in the student’s major(s) or minor(s), subject to rules of those major(s) and minor(s). Africana Studies minor students may not count more than 6 credits for both the Africana Studies minor and the Multiethnic Studies minor.
