Utah Valley University
BA/BS in Integrated Studies, Emphasis in American Indian Studies
05/28/2013
Section I: Request
The Integrated Studies Department in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Utah Valley
University requests to offer an emphasis in American Indian Studies in the BA/BS in Integrated Studies
degree effective Fall 2014. This program was approved by the Board of Trustees on October 24, 2013.
Section II: Need
An American Indian Studies minor currently exists within the Interdisciplinary Studies Program (IDST).
Minors in the IDST have customarily had a parallel IS emphasis. This proposal brings American Indian
Studies into conformity with the other IDST minors.
The American Indian Studies emphasis in the Integrated Studies BA/BS will provide students with
academic experiences, skills, and strategies to understand the scope of American indigenous communities
within scholarly and applied contexts. Graduates will receive an academic background preparing them for
relevant employment in tribal governments and other Indian organizations, state or federal agencies which
serve Indian tribes and organizations, and private sector enterprises that work with Indian tribes and
organizations. The American Indian Studies IS emphasis will stress the traditional acquisition of knowledge
and skills that apply to American Indian communities and a vital sense of service to these communities.
Section III: Institutional Impact
The proposed emphasis will not significantly affect enrollments in other instructional areas, because the
students who would take advantage of this emphasis would largely be the same as those who would
currently minor in American Indian Studies or those who would take advantage of new proposed
concentrations in Indian Affairs Management in the Political Science BA and BS. Since this emphasis will
be offered within Integrated Studies, no change in administrative structures is needed. In addition, this
emphasis will require no new faculty or facilities.
Section IV: Finances
The proposed emphasis requires no addition fiscal resources.
