The African and African American Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary study of the cultures and peoples of Africa and of African descent in the Americas. The academic program offers a minor which explores the historical, social, political, and economic experiences of Africans and African Americans. The objective of the program is to develop committed and well-trained teachers, scholars, and professionals. The program is recommended for liberal arts majors (e.g., Political Science, Sociology, History, English, and Economics) as well as students pursuing degrees in education, criminal justice, law, business, and health sciences. Students interested in enhancing their ability to work effectively in urban areas will find this minor program a valuable and enriching experience. Students interested in developing a global understanding of today's world will find the courses helpful in developing an important body of knowledge.
