The Program
The American Indian Education (AIE) minor
provides an understanding of the particular
educational needs of American Indian students,
as well as the skills to apply methodologies
and classroom practices conducive to
academic success and validation of cultural
identity and values.
Having a positive self-identity and strong cultural
affirmation is key for the success of any
student in school and in life, but American
Indian students face assaults on their identity
and culture on a daily basis. To help ensure
success in working with American Indian
students and communities, the College of
Professional Studies provides a rigorous
curriculum designed to heighten awareness
of the numerous and complex issues surrounding
American Indian education, along
with successful educational models and
classroom applications.
