PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

California Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide an understanding of California's institutions, culture, and environment in a manner that will be occupationally and academically useful to students in a variety of majors. With the state's central role as a gateway to the Pacific basin, substantial knowledge of California will be necessary for those preparing to engage in commerce and international trade. In addition, for students who are planning careers in the public sector, the California Studies minor will furnish background applicable to their future employment.
