| The minor
in African American Studies provides an interdisciplinary
investigation of the experiences, conditions,
origins, accomplishments, and contributions
of people of African ancestry in the United
States. Students may deepen their appreciation
and understanding of African-Americans by studying
their earlier history in Africa, their transition
to the New World, and their diasporic experiences
in other parts of the world. The African-American
Studies Program is comprised of eighteen courses
offered through seven departments of instruction
within the College of Arts and Sciences. |
| The minor
in African-American Studies takes advantage
of those characteristics of the African-American
experience that make it uniquely valuable for
serious academic study and teaching, for it
exposes students to the diversity and unity
of the African-American experience as well as
to the similarities and differences among the
cultures of Africa. |
