MA Critical Ethnic Studies

The master’s in Critical Ethnic Studies will prepare you for advanced analysis of race and ethnicity in an urban and global context. Using an interdisciplinary and antiracist perspective to critique global and local power, the program emphasizes social justice and transformation while focusing on U.S. ethno-racial populations through intersectional, decolonial, transnational, international and urban frameworks.

The Critical Ethnic Studies program draws on DePaul’s expertise across disciplines, including:

• African and Black Diaspora Studies
• English
• Communication
• Global Asian Studies
• History
• International Studies
• Islamic World Studies
• Latin American and Latino/a Studies
• LGBTQ Studies
• Sociology

Core courses are offered in the evening at the Lincoln Park Campus, and electives are offered online and on the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses in the evening or during the day. The master’s in Critical Ethnic Studies can be completed in two years.
