African-American Studies

Interdisciplinary Minor in African-American Studies

The African-American Studies and Research Program offers an interdisciplinary minor as a complement to any major. This minor represents a coherent vehicle for students who wish to structure and formalize their study of Afro-American subjects as part of their liberal education. The minor provides a strong intellectual complement to majors in various humanities and social sciences disciplines as well as to majors in preprofessional programs including law, medicine, social work, education, business, and urban planning. A minimum grade point average of 2.33 is required for completion of courses taken in this program. A student's plan of courses for the minor must be approved by the African-American Studies and Research Program.
