Intercultural Studies

By combining the best of the intercultural studies approach, Iowa State University’s four ethnic studies programs collaborate and operate together in offering common introductory and capstone courses toward an interdisciplinary studies major.

U.S. Latino/a Studies is devoted to the study of Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cuban Americans and other groups of people living in the United States who trace their ancestry to the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America.

African and African American Studies students explore the history and experiences of blacks in America, Africans and people of African descent throughout the world.

American Indian Studies emphasizes interdisciplinary investigations of intellectual practices, lived history, values, political status, rights and responsibilities of tribal nations.
