The career options for majors in Ethnic Studies are various. The major's
special knowledge of the social, political, and legal status of ethnic
groups is useful in many different career options including teaching,
psychology and counseling, law,
social
work, health care services, journalism, community organization, and
a wide variety of civil service positions in federal, state, and local
governments.
