The Program
More than
100 years ago Walt Whitman described America as a “nation of nations.”
Today, the United States remains a nation of many peoples who have
blended their Old World traditions with their New World experiences.
Ethnic diversity is especially evident in Baltimore where Black, Greek,
Hispanic, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Polish, Ukrainian, and American Indian
individuals and others retain distinctive identities and contribute to
the vitality of the nation. The minor in Comparative Ethnic Studies is
designed for students who wish to have a broader and deeper
understanding of the variety of peoples who comprise American culture.
It is a meaningful complement to any major. The minor offers an
interdisciplinary approach and exposure to different cultures in
America.
