Director's Message

Inaugurated in 1969, the academic field of Ethnic Studies has been established at Santa Clara University for 38 years. As we entered our 39th year this 2007-2008 acadamic year, we mark some important changes.

We are sharing the office space with the Office for Multicultural Learning and we look forward to seeing you at our new space.

As of Spring 2005, we officially recorded 34 Ethnic Studies minors, the largest number of interdisciplinary minors in the College of Arts and Science. In addition, several students have declared majors in Independent Studies with a focus on Ethnic Studies. Many of these students are active leaders in the Ethnic Studies Club. We are proud of all our students, and we plan to address students' desire to learn more about race and ethnicity by working towards an official major in Ethnic Studies.
