Native American Studies Program
Degrees Awarded: MA, PhD
At the Master’s level, we offer a course of study designed to prepare students for work in tribal administration and education, museums and cultural centers, community development, and public policy. The Master’s program also prepares students to teach in the tribal colleges of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium or in other community colleges. It also prepares students for further study in Native American Studies or related fields.
At the Ph.D. level, we offer a course of study designed to train, strengthen and enlarge the critical mass of scholars working within the field of Native American Studies. Our graduates will be positioned to contribute to Native critical and creative intelligence in all its complexity. They will take their place as scholars within Native American Studies programs and relevant disciplines within social sciences and humanities.
Emphasis: The department offers a designated emphasis in Native American Studies for graduate students enrolled in Anthropology, Comparative Literature, history, Psychology, Psychology, Spanish and Community Development. We are interested in students who have a commitment to research, teaching, and community oriented practices, to the multi-disciplinary nature of Native American Studies, and to critical thinking arising from Indigenous intellectual traditions.
