| Description of Minor in California Studies | Program Scope: California Studies is a multi-disciplinary program whose purpose it is to study the consensus and conflict, unity and diversity, and the continuity and change that characterize the many peoples and cultures, artistic and creative expressions, earth and geosciences, as well as social structures, of past and present California. Students pursuing this Minor may draw upon the strengths of many departments offering courses on the various dimensions of California; in particular, American Indian Studies, American Studies, Anthropology, Asian American Studies, Biology, Black Studies, Economics, English, Geography, Geology, History, Hospitality Management, Humanities, Meteorology, Political Science, and Raza Studies. Certain core courses are required to obtain the Minor, with additional elective courses to be chosen by the student. Each student should emerge from the Minor with a grasp of California history and political processes, a knowledge and appreciation of the rich diversity of California cultures, creative arts, and literatures, an informed view of California's environmental richness and ecological relationships, and a continuing interest in the dynamic California landscape. General Education Cluster in California Studies: The California Studies Minor is affiliated with the General Education Segment III cluster "California Cultures and Environments." Eighteen courses are offered within this cluster. Students select one course from each of three components: California Artistic and Cultural Landscapes, California. Social Landscapes, and California Environmental Landscapes. Career Outlook: The Minor in California Studies prepares students for regional and local application of their major fields of study to the immediate world in which they live, the state of California. A foundation in California studies is beneficial to those pursuing teaching credentials and careers in business, public policy, public administration, state government, and public history. The Minor is also excellent preparation for those pursuing advanced degrees in the social sciences, humanities, earth sciences, or arts.
