Black Studies

The Black Studies Minor is coordinated by the Department of Sociology and provides an interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate students interested in the black experience. The program offers critical perspectives on cultural, socioeconomic, and political realities of people of African descent in the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa.

By developing a strong connection between academic work and community activities, the Black Studies program fosters intellectual and career development. Students will gain a detailed appreciation and understanding of diversity in contemporary society. Black Studies is part of a multicultural curriculum and offers courses from a variety of fields.
