MINOR: AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES
This major
provides opportunities for study of the cultures, values, history, and
contemporary life of the indigenous nations and peoples of North America.
Through courses from a variety of disciplines and interaction with
American Indian professionals, elders, peers, and other educators,
students will develop abilities and enhance their knowledge and
understanding in accordance with university and tribally defined standards
of excellence.
The major is
designed to offer a range of courses to meet the needs of students: (1)
who wish to enter a profession related to tribal affairs; (2) who have
decided to pursue graduate study; (3) who are American Indian students who
want to learn more about their culture and heritage; and (4) who are drawn
to the major because of its broad interdisciplinary perspective. In
addition, the major and minor in American Indian Studies are designed to
complement degree programs in Nursing, Education, Business, Social Work,
and courses from a range of disciplines.
The major
consists of 36 semester credits as follows:

TOPICAL MINOR, Liberal
Arts (Code 610-401)
A Topical
Minor is composed of 24 semester credits selected by the student to meet
the student’s own interests and scholarly objectives. Courses for the
minor may be chosen on the basis of a coherent theme, a historical period,
a definable professional need, or complementary relation to the student’s
major.
The Topical
Minor is not intended to be used to duplicate any major or minor offered
as a regular program within the UW System.
The Topical
Minor must include courses from at least two departments, with no more
than 15 credits from any one department and no more than six credits from
the department of the student’s major. Courses included in the major
cannot be applied to the minor. At least 12 of the 24 credits must be
earned in courses numbered 300 or above, and at least 15 of the 24 credits
must be earned in Arts and Sciences courses.
Procedures.
The student will first obtain a Topical Minor form from the College office
(Schofield 134), plan the minor in consultation with an appropriate
faculty adviser, and obtain the adviser’s approval. The plan for the
minor must then be submitted to the Associate Dean. The Associate Dean’s
approval must be obtained after the student has earned a total of 60
credits, but before the student has earned 88 credits toward a degree.
Students
proposing a Topical Minor are responsible to ascertain that they are
eligible to register for the courses included in their Topical Minor. They
must meet, for example, all individual course prerequisites and GPA
requirements or have received explicit permission from the department
offering the course. In addition, for courses offered in one of the
professional schools, school admission requirements will likely have to be
met or written permission obtained from the Dean of that school before
enrollment will be possible.
