Many American Indian and non-Indian students graduating from
Brigham Young University in studies such as education, sociology,
business, and political science will be brought into contact with
the Native American people because of the nature of their
occupations.
The Native American Studies minor is designed to
supplement students of various disciplines so that they may
become more culturally aware of the heritage of the American
Indian, thus promoting better understanding and cooperation.
The minor has been designed so that students may select
classes from a variety of interdepartmental courses, if desiring a
general background, or a combination of classes for an in-depth
study in a specific discipline.
In connection with the American Studies program offered at
Brigham Young University, students can obtain a major in
American Studies, with course work designed to emphasize the
Native American.
Make application to or obtain further information from the
History Department.
