Ethnic studies is not a separate undergraduate program of study at UCSC, but students with an interest in ethnic studies can find an extensive array of courses on the subject in the following departments: American studies, anthropology, community studies, education, feminist studies, film and digital media, economics, history, history of art and visual culture, history of consciousness, Latin American and Latino studies, literature, music, politics, psychology, sociology, and theater arts. Feminist studies offers two ethnic studies concentrations within their major: race, class, and ethnicity (within the U.S.) and nations and cultures (comparative, non-U.S.). The Community Studies Department and the Latin American and Latino Studies Department offer opportunities for fieldwork that extend ethnic studies outside the traditional classroom setting. See also the campus general education (E code) requirement. A list of U.S.-centered ethnic studies courses offered each quarter is published in the Schedule of Classes. In addition, a list of faculty for whom ethnic studies are a professional specialty is published on the UCSC catalog web site, http://reg.ucsc.edu/catalog/.
