The sweeping societal transformations of the 1960s led to the creation of one of the longest-standing interdisciplinary programs of its type. A quick look at current news reveals why we remain among the nation's most impactful programs: We examine pressing matters related to racial dynamics. Students choose the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Institute for Ethnic Studies for our degree programs and graduate concentrations because we provide a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary education that examines race and ethnicity through comparative and global perspectives. 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 enriched by seminars, thought-provoking speakers, and engaging campus activities.
