This is an example of a course of study leading to a BA in American Indian Studies. Plans of courses differ between even and uneven years. Please visit with an American Indian Studies faculty member to determine a personalized plan. Students need to satisfy all published Essential Studies requirements. To determine how to best fulfill these requirements and the electives requirements in the American Indian Studies major, students should visit with an American Indian Studies faculty member.


You must complete enough electives to bring total credit hours up to the 125. Special Emphasis courses can fulfill an essential studies requirement (example-History 104, US History, will count toward the US Diversity as well as the Humanities area). Please Note: Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements.
