Courses including Introduction to Native American Studies, Tribal Critical Race Theory, and Orientation to Research in Native America make up the core courses. Students may explore a variety of topics from other programs such as English, History, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology.<\/p>\n<h4>Capstone<\/h4>\n<p>Many students are delighted to find that an NAS certificate or minor complements their major. Whether a student is getting a degree in Business, Environmental Science, or Education, an NAS emphasis can enhance a wide range of field specific studies and make a graduate more agile and competitive on the job market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container
