Minor in African and African American Studies
The minor in African and African American Studies is intended to supplement the student’s academic major with a scholarly understanding of African diasporic history, social and political life, economics, culture, and art. This minor program also addresses issues and topics pertaining to the physical and psychological health of the African diaspora. The program seeks to provide students with clear, culturally based knowledge about African diasporic communities throughout the world. This includes not only the African continent, but the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and even Asia. The program is interdisciplinary and fits within the framework of a liberal-arts education.
The minor in African and African American Studies requires a minimum of five (5) courses, as follows:
Required Core Courses—AFR 222 and AFR 260 (also HIS)
Required Distribution Courses—Three (3) additional courses chosen from the AFR course offerings (which include cross-listings), or courses outside of the AFR program that have been approved for credit by the Director of the African and African American Studies program.
Additional Considerations for the Minor—All students in this minor will have the Director of African and African American Studies as their adviser.
