Department Description:
The Ethnic Studies Department at the University of San Diego, housed within the College of Arts and Sciences, is a vibrant, interdisciplinary department that examines the historical, cultural and social dynamics of race and ethnicity in the United States using comparative, intersectional, transnational, and decolonizing methods. We acknowledge that USD is built on Kumeyaay Indigenous homelands and are especially committed to engaging decolonizing methodologies. Our academic and community-based knowledge curriculum addresses the lives, labor, and cultures of communities of color through ethnic-specific and comparative lenses while inviting students to engage with power, equity, and social justice issues in applied ways. We aim to bridge academic and community knowledges in order to serve the needs of local, tribal, and trans/national communities. Our majors are well prepared for careers in law, education, business, social work, counseling, public health, politics, and graduate study in ethnic studies and related fields.

The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of the University of San Diego. Our philosophy is built on the enduring values of the Catholic intellectual tradition, immersing students in the concepts of free inquiry, ethical conduct and compassionate service. The College aims to establish an academic foundation for students to thrive and gain a comprehensive education, which spans the sciences, arts and social sciences. Through our exemplary liberal arts education and rigorous scholarship, we aspire to not only educate the mind but also develop the whole person.

University Description:
The University of San Diego, an engaged and contemporary Catholic institution, was founded by the Diocese of San Diego and the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1949. Governed by an independent board of trustees since 1972, USD remains committed to a liberal arts education grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Inspired by this centuries old tradition of Catholic higher education, the University welcomes people of all faith traditions and any, or no, religious background. The future success of USD relies on the contributions of those who seek to foster the development of engaged global citizens and an earnest confrontation of humanity's urgent challenges.
