The sweeping societal transformations of the 1960s led to the establishment of one of the longest-running interdisciplinary programs of its type. Current events demonstrate why we remain among the nation's most impactful programs: We critically examine modern racial issues. Students choose the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Institute for Ethnic Studies for our comprehensive majors, minors, and graduate concentrations because we provide a holistic, cross-disciplinary education centered on race and ethnicity, including global contexts and relationships. Whether concentrating on African/African American, Latina/o/Latin American, or Native American studies, our students collaborate with distinguished faculty on meaningful research and maintain lasting academic relationships. They pursue intellectual passions within a collaborative environment featuring thought-provoking seminars, distinguished guest lecturers, and engaging programming.
