Ethnic Studies is designed to attract significant numbers of ethnic minority students, and to provide meaningful assistance to them in successfully completing higher education at Weber State College. To that extent, the staff is prepared to recruit, advise and counsel interested students. An effort is also made to provide financial and tutorial assistance when necessary. Ethnic Studies is not at this time a field of study, and, of course, offers neither a major nor a minor.
