Indigenous Nations Studies Minor

The program offers a minor that is meant to serve three primary student constituencies:

• students who have a serious academic interest in Native Americans and who wish to combine the study of Native Americans with their major;
• students who plan careers in Indian or native affairs;
• students who have a nascent interest in Native Americans and wish to fulfill their general education requirements with courses in this area.

The objective of the internship requirement is to place INS students in community or government organizations so that each student has an opportunity to acquire understanding of Native issues.
