Courses
Ethnic studies is the study of the social, cultural, and historical
forces that have shaped the development of Americas diverse ethnic
peoples over the last 500 years and which continue to shape our future.
Focusing on immigration, slavery, and confinement, those three social
processes that combined to create in the United States a nation of nations,
ethnic studies intensively examines the histories, languages, and cultures
of Americas racial and ethnic minority groups in and of themselves,
in their relationships to each other, and, particularly, in structural
contexts of power.
The curriculum of the Department of Ethnic Studies is designed to 1)
study intensively the particular histories of different ethnic and racial
groups in the United States, especially intragroup stratification; 2)
to draw larger theoretical lessons from comparisons among these groups;
3) to articulate general principles that shape racial and ethnic relations
both currently and historically; and 4) to explore how ethnic identity
is constructed and reconstructed over time both internally and externally.
A degree in ethnic studies offers training of special interest to those
considering admission to graduate or professional schools and careers
in education, law, medicine, public health, social work, journalism,
business, city planning, politics, psychology, international relations,
or creative writing. A major in ethnic studies is designed to impart
fundamental skills in critical thinking, comparative analysis, social
theory and research analysis, and written expression. These skills will
give students the opportunity to satisfy the increasingly rigorous expectations
of graduate admissions committees and prospective employers for a broad
liberal arts perspective.
An ethnic studies major offers excellent preparation for teaching in
the elementary schools. If you are interested in earning a California
teaching credential from UCSD, contact the Teacher Education Program
for information about the prerequisite and professional preparation
requirements. It is recommended that you contact TEP as early as possible
in your academic career.

- One four-unit field methods course (Ethnic Studies 190: Research
Methods: Studying Ethnic and Racial Communities).
- Since the goal of the Department of Ethnic Studies is to intensively
study both the particular histories of various ethnic and racial groups
in the United States and to draw larger theoretical lessons from comparisons
among and between groups, students may not fulfill requirements 2B
and 2D by focusing all of the seven required courses on only one ethnic
or racial group.
- Ethnic studies majors, including students who are double majors,
may petition up to four upper-division courses to fulfill major requirements
as long as each of the following three conditions are met for each
course: 1) the course is taken from another UCSD department, taken
from a UCSD approved study abroad program, or taken at another UC
campus; 2) the coursework is appropriate to the ethnic studies major;
and 3) the student completes at least one course offered by the UCSD
ethnic studies department in each of the five upper-division categories.
- To satisfy the requirements for the major, lower- and upper-division
courses must be completed with a P, C-, or better grade.
- Except for independent study course electives (ETHN 197, 198, or
199) which are always taken with a Pass/No Pass grade option, students
majoring in ethnic studies may take up to two courses, either lower-
or upper- division, with a Pass/No Pass option.
The Honors Program
Consistent with other research opportunities offered to undergraduates
on the UCSD campus, the department offers the Honors Program to ethnic
studies majors in their senior or junior year the opportunity to conduct
original research using interdisciplinary methodologies in the comparative
study of race and ethnicity. To enroll in the Honors Program, an undergraduate
must have a minimum grade-point average of 3.5 in ethnic studies classes
counted towards the major. Students with a GPA lower than 3.5 in the
major may be admitted by exception if they show promise of success in
research.
The Honors Program will be an extension of current departmental offerings
using existing faculty resources. Ethnic studies and affiliated faculty
will choose to advise students who successfully complete ETHN 191A
and continue in the Honors Program based on related research interests.
The student will enroll in ETHN 191B and ETHN 191C and work with the
appropriate faculty adviser. Students will present their research projects
at the annual Ethnic Studies Honors Symposium in June. Students who
complete the sequence ETHN 191A, ETHN 191B, and ETHN 191C will receive
one credit towards the “B” (Social Studies/Humanities)
requirements for the ethnic studies major. Stu-dents who complete their
research project with a grade of “B” or better and maintain
a minimum 3.25 GPA in the ethnic studies major will receive “Distinction” in
the major upon graduation from UCSD. Ethnic Studies 191A, 191B, and
191C must be taken for letter grade only.
191A. Undergraduate Research in Ethnic Studies (4) This
course is designed to help students conduct their own research rather
than merely read the research of others. The course will introduce
students to research paradigms in ethnic studies, familiarize them
with finding
aids and other library resources, and involve them in the design of
research plans.
191B. Honors Research in Ethnic Studies (4) This
course is a continuation of Ethnic Studies 191A- Undergraduate Research
in Ethnic Studies. Students who have completed ETHN 191A and selected
a faculty research adviser may enroll in this course. During the quarter
the research for the honors project will be completed under the faculty
adviser’s supervision. Faculty advisers will meet weekly with
their honors students to oversee the progress made in carrying out
the plan of research. Formerly ETHN 192. Prerequisites: upper-division
standing, consent of instructor, and completion of 191A.
191C. Honors Research in Ethnic Studies (4) This
course is a continuation of Ethnic Studies 191B Honors Research in
Ethnic Studies. Students who have completed ETHN 191B and are continuing
to work with a faculty research adviser may enroll in this course.
During the quarter the written drafts and final honors paper will
be completed under the faculty adviser’s supervision. The student
will meet weekly with the faculty adviser in order to prepare drafts
and the final version of the honors paper. Formerly ETHN 193. Prerequisites:
ETHN 191A and ETHN 191B.
Education Abroad Program
Students are able to participate in the UC
Education Abroad Program (EAP) or UCSD’s Opportunities Abroad
Program (OAP) while still making progress toward completing their major.
Students considering
this option should discuss their plans with the undergraduate adviser
prior to going abroad, and courses taken abroad must be approved
by the department. Interested students should contact the Programs
Abroad Office in the International Center.
The Minor
Students may minor in ethnic studies. Con- sistent with the provision
for a minor curriculum for students entering after January 1, 1998,
students wishing to minor in ethnic studies must satisfy the following
requirements:
- Students must take two four-unit courses in the history and theoretical
dimensions of ethnic diversity in the United States from the lower
division sequence (Ethnic Studies 1A-B-C); or students must take two
four-unit upper-division courses in analytic and comparative study
of ethnicity: Theories and Methods of Ethnic Studies (ETHN 100), and
Research Methods: Studying Ethnic and Racial Communities (ETHN 190).
- Students must take five four-unit upper-division ethnic studies
elective courses; at least two, but no more than three of the five
elective courses must be selected from either the ethnic studies history
and social studies courses (listed above in section 2B) or the ethnic
studies literature and cultural expressions courses (listed above
in section 2D). While language and ethnicity courses offered by the
department (listed above in section 2C) may also be used to satisfy
this requirement, foreign language and area studies courses from other
departments may not. No more than two independent study courses (ETHN
197, 198, or 199) may be used to satisfy this requirement.
- To satisfy the requirements for the minor, lower- and upper-division
courses must be completed with a P, C-, or better grade.
- Except for independent study course electives (ETHN 197, 198, or
199) which are always taken with a Pass/No Pass grade option, students
minoring in ethnic studies may take one course, either lower- or upper-division,
with a Pass/No Pass grade option.

and relational study of ethnicity and race in the United States. Our
fields of emphasis include intercultural communication and conflict,
population histories of the Americas, ethnicity and identity, immigration
and assimilation, ethnic politics and social movements, race and racism,
urban ethnicity, gender and ethnicity, sexuality, intellectual and cultural
histories of ethnic groups, cultural pluralism, national integration,
language and ethnic life, and mass media representations of ethnic identity.
Admission
New students are admitted in the fall quarter of each academic year.
Prospective applicants should submit the official application for admission
and awards (same form), one set of official transcripts from each institution
attended after high school, official scores from the Graduate Record
Examination, application fee, at least three letters of recommendation,
and one or more samples of the applicants own writing, such as
term papers. Additionally, foreign applicants must submit official scores
from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Applicants are
encouraged to visit the department to talk with faculty and graduate
students. The application deadline is January 15.
Program of Study
Students are required to enroll as full-time graduate students, to
carry a minimum enrollment of twelve units of graduate-level courses
each quarter, and to maintain a grade-point average of 3.2 or better.
To obtain an M.A. degree students must take fifty-four units of course
work and write a masters thesis.
Core Curriculum Sequence Requirements
- Ethnic Studies 200A-B-C, Core Seminar
All graduate students will be required to take the introductory three-quarter
core seminar (four units each, twelve units total) during their first
year in the program. This course covers ethnic studies theory , the
history of ethnic studies, and controversies in ethnic studies.
- Ethnic Studies 210, Research Seminar
During the first year of graduate study, all students will be required
to take (1) one-quarter of the research seminar (4 units). This course
introduces students to the practice of original discovery research
in the field of racial and ethnic studies, including articulating
a research problem, placing it within theoretical discussions, selecting
appropriate methods, and analyzing data.
- Ethnic Studies 230, Department Colloquium
During the first two years of graduate study, all students will be
required to enroll in six one-quarter colloquia required by the
department. In Ethnic Studies 230, department faculty and visiting
lecturers will make presentations about research in progress in
our
field. This colloquium is a one-unit course and must be taken for
a total of six quarters.
- Ethnic Studies 240, Multidisciplinary Research Methods in Ethnic
Studies
During the first two years of graduate study, students must enroll
in two (2) four-unit disciplinary methods courses. The first course
must be Ethnic Studies 240; Multidisciplinary Research Methods in
Ethnic Studies. Depending upon the students research interests,
the second course will be selected (in consultation with the students
graduate adviser) from those graduate methods courses offered by UCSD
Humanities and Social Science Departments.
- Ethnic Studies 290A-B, Masters Thesis Preparation
Students are required to write a masters thesis as part of the
requirements for the master of arts in ethnic studies. Students should
enroll in thesis preparation courses in the fall and spring quarters
of the second year of graduate studies.
Foreign Language Requirement
Competence in one or more foreign languages is encouraged but not required
at the M.A. level. All doctoral candidates must satisfy the departments
graduate committee that they have adequate linguistic competence in
one foreign language relevant to their area of research by translating
three pages of scholarly text written in the designated foreign language.
The graduate committee may waive the language requirement and test the
candidate on other specialized skills in instances where knowledge of
a foreign language is not relevant to the candidates areas of
research.
Instruction in Quantification
The department encourages graduate students to employ quantitative
methods where appropriate. Instruction in quantitative methods can fulfill
elective requirements; recommended courses include Sociology 205 and
206Survey and Demographic Methods, Political Science 270Quantitative
Methods in Political Science. In cases where a reading knowledge of
evidence assembled through quantitative methods would be useful, students
who obtain the permission of the director of Graduate Studies may fulfill
elective requirements by taking no more than two selected undergraduate
courses including Sociology 103Computer Applications to Data Management
in Sociology, Sociology 107Demographic Methods, Sociology 108Quantitative
Analysis of Survey Data, Sociology 109Quantitative Analysis of
Sociological Data, Political Science 170Quantitative Political
Science, among others.
The Masters Degree
Students entering the ethnic studies doctoral program must first complete
a masters degree before continuing toward the doctorate. University
regulations prohibit entering students who already have a masters
degree in ethnic studies from receiving a second masters degree.
Nonetheless, students who are admitted to the ethnic studies doctoral
program with a masters degree must complete all the requirements
for the ethnic studies master of arts degree. The M.A. will also be a
terminal degree for those students denied admission to candidacy.
To obtain the M.A. degree, students must complete the departments
course requirements satisfactorily. At the end of the second year in
the graduate program, students must submit a written thesis to their
Masters Thesis Committee (MTC). The committee will assess the
quality of the work and determine whether it demonstrates the likelihood
of success in conducting doctoral research.
The final decision regarding the M.A. degree is based on grades, the
masters thesis, and yearly faculty evaluations. The Graduate Program
Committee awards three possible grades: Pass, M.A. Only, and No Pass.
All passing students (with the exception of those who already have a
masters degree in ethnic studies from another institution) receive
the master of arts degree and proceed in their course of studies for
the doctorate. Students who receive M.A. Only evaluations gain the masters
degree but may not continue in the departments Ph.D. program.
Students who receive a No Pass evaluation must withdraw from the program
without a graduate degree. The masters degree is earned as one
of the requirements for the Ph.D. and is based on the quality of the
students work during the first two years in the graduate program.
At the end of the second year, students are evaluated by the Graduate
Program Committee for the masters degree. At that time, the committee
(GPC) ascertains the students suitability for doctoral work and
recommends either advancement to Ph.D. work or termination.
Requirements for the Qualifying Examinations
When students complete all the core curriculum requirements and have
taken five four-unit elective courses in appropriate areas or disciplines,
they are eligible to take the qualifying examination for the Ph.D. Degree
Students will be encouraged to take the exam by the end of their third
year in the program, but this examination must be completed by the end
of the students fourth year in the program. The qualifying exam
is both written and oral; it consists of two parts. Part one tests the
students basic competence and knowledge of ethnic studies scholarship
as spelled out in the Department of Ethnic Studies required graduate
reading list. The reading list will be distributed to every student
entering the graduate program. Over the next three years, students are
required to read all of these books and articles, and to have their
mastery of these readings tested during the qualifying examination.
Part two of the examination requires the submission of a dissertation
prospectus. The dissertation prospectus is a written document that 1)
specifies the dissertation research topic; 2) places the dissertation
research in the context of the relevant literature in the field; 3)
identifies the significance of the project as original discovery scholarship;
4) explains and justifies the research methods to be employed; 5) establishes
the feasibility of the research and identifies the primary sources or
data bases to be used;6) indicates the anticipated steps leading to
completion of the project; and 7) provides a timetable for the research
and writing phases of the project.
The Doctoral Committee consists of five persons proposed by the student
and accepted by the department chair and the office of Graduate Studies
and Research according to graduate council regulations. A sixth member
of the committee may be added with the approval of the department chair.
Students are expected to select the chair of their examination committee
by the winter quarter of the third year of study. The chair of the Ph.D.
Examination Committee serves as the students adviser for the remainder
of the students graduate program. Three of the Examination Committee
members must be Department of Ethnic Studies faculty; the other two
must be from other departments.
Fourteen days before the scheduled qualifying examination, the student
must submit the written dissertation prospectus to the examination committee.
On this same day, the student will receive from the chair of the examination
committee a three-question written exam testing knowledge of the required
graduate reading list. Seven days before the scheduled qualifying examination,
the student must submit written answers to the questions that have been
posed, distributing copies of these essays to all examination committee
members. A two-hour oral examination will occur on the appointed date.
At the two-hour oral exam, the student will answer questions posed by
the committee about the students dissertation prospectus, mastery
of the required graduate reading list, answers to the written part of
the exam, and comprehensive knowledge of ethnic studies scholarship.
Based on written papers and on oral performance, three possible grades
will be selected by the examination committee: No Pass, Pass, and High
Pass. Students who receive a No Pass must retake the qualifying examination
within one year and obtain a Pass grade to remain in the doctoral program.
The Doctoral Dissertation
Once students pass the qualifying exam, they may begin dissertation
research. Students are expected to consult with their committee members
on a regular basis during the research process.
All doctoral students will be evaluated annually by the doctoral committee
and given a written report signed by the thesis adviser according to
campus policy.
When the dissertation has been substantially completed and once committee
members have had the opportunity to review drafts of the written work,
the committee meets (with or without the student present at the discretion
of the committee chair) to consider the progress made and to identify
concerns, changes to be made, or further research to be done. Once the
committee members are substantially satisfied with the written work,
the student, in consultation with the committee, schedules the oral
defense of the dissertation. By university regulation, the defense is
open to the public.
The final version of the dissertation must be approved by each member
of the doctoral committee. Having successfully defended the dissertation
in oral examination, the student is eligible to receive the Ph.D. Degree
The final version of the dissertation is then filed with the university
librarian via the office of Graduate Studies and Research. Acceptance
of the dissertation by the university librarian is the final step in
completing all requirements for the Ph.D.
Departmental Ph.D. Time Limits Policy
Pre-candidacy status, that is, the registered time before a student
passes the qualifying examination and thereby advances to Ph.D. candidacy,
may not exceed four years. Normative time for a Ph.D. in ethnic studies
is six years. Normative time is defined as that period of time in which
students under normal circumstances are expected to complete their doctoral
program. To provide an incentive for students to complete the Ph.D.
within normative time, students will only be eligible for departmental
financial support for six years (eighteen quarters). By university policies,
the doctoral dissertation must be submitted and defended within eight
years. To meet this normative time limit, and to meet departmental requirements,
students must complete the Qualifying Examination by the end of the
fourth year.
In the spring quarter each year, the Graduate Program Committee will
assess the progress of each pre-candidacy student on the basis of evaluations
submitted by three faculty members chosen by the student. The committee
will establish that the student is in good standing, recommend additional
course work, or recommend dismissal. The committee may wish to meet
with some students in person to discuss the students evaluation
and progress toward the degree.
