The program offers a Native American studies minor. Students take a core curriculum for 6 semester hours and, in consultation with a faculty advisor, select 12 semester hours of electives. The minor provides a solid foundation in the areas of Native American culture, history, literature and contemporary issues and is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the specific interests of each student. It is especially recommended for students who are considering pursuing Native issues in graduate school and for education majors who plan to teach the New York State curriculum on Native Americans.
Students interested in pursuing the minor in Native American Studies should consult with the program director, Dr. Michael E. Chaness.
