Interdisciplinary Minor in Afro-American Studies

The Afro-American Studies and Research Program offers an interdisciplinary minor as a complement to any major. 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 2.33 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.
