The minor in Celtic studies is designed to give students an overview of the way of life of the prehistoric, historic, and contemporary Celtic peoples throughout Europe and the world, emphasizing the 鈥渟ix Celtic nations鈥 of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Cornwall (in England), and Brittany (in France) and the Celts of Iberia from the Iron Age to the 21st century. The minor also addresses the Celtic diaspora to places as far-flung in both space and time as ancient Egypt and Appalachia. To learn about Celtic peoples is to explore yet another avenue of what it means to be human.
