    Description
    (No prerequisite. May be taken as BEHS 130 or SOC 130; credit awarded for only one course.) This course offers an in-depth examination of race and ethnicity in the United States. Specifically, students gain a greater understanding of the concepts of race and ethnicity and the historic and present-day implications of prejudice, discrimination, and racism in our society. Students examine various theories of racial and ethnic stratification, immigration and the assimilation process, new and changing ethno-racial identities, and dominant-minority group interactions.
