The
Southwest Studies Program
Major and Minor
Southwest Studies examines the
region of the greater Southwest through a variety of lenses, encouraging
students to see the complexity that diverse people have created in a
specific place. This blend of peoples and histories living in a
distinctive landscape provides a model for study applicable to any
region. Using the tools of traditional disciplines in combination
with interdisciplinary techniques, students will learn to observe and
analyze places and people and to use these skills to solve real
problems.
