Ethnic & Gender Studies, B.A. Sample Degree Map

The Ethnic and Gender Studies B.A. degree program grounds students in a liberal arts foundation––one that prioritizes research and questioning across the humanities, sciences and arts––and immerses them in the interdisciplinary fields of ethnic and gender studies, which prioritize an intersectional approach to critical thinking and analysis. 

The State University of New York at Fredonia is committed to doing our part to provide each student a clear path to graduation. This four-year degree plan is a sample map for fulfilling requirements in the major, the Fredonia Foundations (FF), and other supporting courses. The pathway that you take to your degree may differ somewhat from this illustration, depending on where you start and the detours and side trips you may take along the way. If you are committed to completing your degree in four years, we encourage you to consider signing up for the Fredonia in 4 program.
