The Minor
The Minor in International Migration Studies is jointly administered
by the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies (CCIS) and Eleanor
Roosevelt College (ERC). It is designed to provide students with
an in-depth understanding of the causes, politics, and social consequences
of international migration from a broad comparative perspective.
This program of study helps to prepare students for a career in
research and teaching, immigrant service-providing organizations,
government agencies, or law. The unique research and writing opportunities
offered by this minor also make it an excellent preparation for
graduate school.
This interdisciplinary minor covers a wide range of topics, including
the economic, cultural, demographic, and political impacts of immigration;
laws and government policies for controlling immigration and refugee
flows; ethnic, gender, citizenship, and transnational dimensions
of immigration; the integration of immigrant minorities in receiving
societies; and immigrant history and literature. Students learn
about other countries of immigration (especially in Western Europe
and East Asia) in order to place the U.S. experience in comparative
perspective.
Requirements
The minor consists of a total of seven courses (twenty-eight units).
The requirements can be fulfilled by courses at the lower- and upper-division
levels or a combination of course work and either field research
in immigrant communities or internships with local immigrant service
organizations.
