Enroll into the Alaska Native Studies Minor

Students may select from one of two areas to complete the requirements for the minor: a policy focus or language focus.

Both of these areas emphasize the dynamic nature of Alaska Native cultures and the conflict between traditional Native values and those of the dominant Euro-American society. The Alaska Native Studies Minor provides a valuable enrichment to any 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 baccalaureate degree. 

**A minimum of 19 credits is required for the minor, of which 6 credits must be upper division.**
