Basque Studies, Minor


An undergraduate minor in Basque studies is offered through the Center for Basque Studies, part of the College of Liberal Arts. The Center offers many courses on Basque topics, both in the regular classroom setting and online through Independent Learning. In addition, the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) offers Basque courses in the Spanish Basque Country. The minor program provides students with an introduction and exposure to one of the unique ethnic heritages of Europe and the American West. The minor can be obtained entirely through online courses if the student prefers.
