Associate of Arts in American Ethnic Studies in Seattle United States | North Seattle College

The American Ethnic Studies program at NSC takes an interdisciplinary approach, introducing students to fundamental concepts and terminology from various academic disciplines. Course materials extend beyond conventional scholarly publications on race, gender, and class to incorporate diverse sources like poetry, artwork, personal journals, correspondence, and digital archival videos. The curriculum emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to develop critical thinking skills through questioning and analysis.

These courses meet requirements for A.A. degrees or transfer preparation, offer standalone options for university students, satisfy prerequisites for professional programs (such as nursing and early childhood education), and serve as opportunities for personal growth and learning.
