Native American Studies

The Native American Studies department office is in 2401 Hart Hall. The program was introduced in the late 1960s. UCD is one of only two schools in the country to offer a Ph.D. program in this field. Jack Forbes, a former professor, was instrumental in advancing Native American Studies as a formal educational path, not only in Davis but in terms of nationwide acceptance as well.
