Course
Offerings in Multicultural/Ethnic Studies has been developed by
the President’s Multicultural Advisory Committee, a group of
students, faculty and administrators from diverse backgrounds
working together for a common cause. The Committee serves as an
advisory group to the President of the University in addressing
both the broad issues of multiculturalism in higher education and
the specific multicultural needs of our St. John’s University
community.
The purpose of this publication is to provide students with a
comprehensive guide to the various multidisciplinary,
cross-cultural courses offered at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels at St. John’s. Topics vary from “Studies in Italian
Culture” and “Women in America” to “Politics of the Middle East”
and “African Nationalism.” Information is also provided about
special certificate programs designed
specifically for students who wish to concentrate in area studies
including Latin America and the Caribbean as well as Asian
Studies.
Similar to the Undergraduate and Graduate Bulletins, course
listings are categorized by College. Students should be aware
that many of the courses listed in this publication: (1) require
prerequisites, (2) are open only to department majors, (3) require
special permission from the department chair/program director and
(4) are not offered every semester.
Prior to registering for any courses, you must consult with your
academic advisor to ensure that you are eligible to take a course
and that it fits within your program requirements.
We hope you find this guide a helpful resource in your course
selection process. For additional information on minors in
multicultural/ethnic studies, refer to the Undergraduate and
Graduate Bulletins or consult with
your academic advisor.
