Given the systematic discrimination and exploitation of African Americans, Latinxs/Chicanxs, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Middle Eastern Americans that have figured so critically in the history of the United States and its territories, the Race and Ethnic Studies requirement provides the opportunity to study the histories, politics and cultures of people of African, Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern and Indigenous descent. Courses must substantially examine the impact of racial construction on power relations and cultural identities of these groups within and/or beyond the US context.

To request that a course be added to the approved list of courses, students must submit courses (including a syllabus) by petition (use the Race and Ethnic Studies Requirement Petition).

Seniors may only take pre-approved courses.

This comprehensive list is kept updated as new Race and Ethnic Studies courses are approved. Refer to “Course Area: SC Race & Ethnic St Rqmt” on the Academic Portal schedule of courses for each semester.
