DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Launched in 2014 as an undergraduate program, CRES reached departmental status in 2021.

At the undergraduate level, the department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in CRES, a minor in Black Studies, and a 4+1 Masters and credential pathway with Education. The department offers a Designated Emphasis (DE) at the graduate level, with over 40 students pursuing the DE. CRES is the fastest-growing major within the Humanities and currently serves over 150 students. Faculty from across the campus have contributed signficiantly to conversations in critical race and ethnic studies for decades, with nationally renowned faculty from Anthropology; Feminist Studies; History; Literature; Performance, Play, and Design; and Sociology participating as core faculty. In addition to these departments, faculty from Education, Film and Digital Media, History of Art and Visual Culture, History of Consciousness, Latin American and Latino Studies, Linguistics, Music, Politics, and Psychology also contribute to the curriculum.  

The CRES Department is the site of dynamic research initiatives. CRES houses the Critical Ethnic Studies Journal, the flagship journal in the field. CRES also administers the Center for Racial Justice (CRJ), which was established in 2019 and serves as a vital hub for dialogue and research on race and racial justice. The CRJ offers events and conferences (including a Summer Institute), political education, and funding opportunities for students invested in racial justice.
