AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES
INTERDISCIPLINARY MINOR IN AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES
The Afro-American Studies and Research Program offers an interdisciplinary minor as a complement to the major for any student enrolled in the Sciences and Letters Curriculum in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. 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 2.75 is required for completion of courses taken in this program. A student's plan of courses for the minor must be approved by the Afro-American Studies and Research Program. On the recommendation of the director of Afro-American Studies, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will verify that the student has completed the minor.
