Race and ethnicity are meaningful characteristics created through social processes. Individuals and institutions use race and ethnicity to establish cultural and material hierarchies of power and privilege in a society. It is necessary to continue studying race and ethnicity, especially in the United States, a country whose foundations are built upon ethnic and racial issues that continue to persist.

Loyola's minor in Race and Ethnicity was developed to provide an interdisciplinary theoretical background on relevant ethnic and racial issues and train students to develop analytic tools for studying ethnic and racial issues.
