Black Studies Minor

The Black studies minor offers an interdisciplinary course of study across the humanities and social sciences. In so doing, it gives students an opportunity to pursue their own interests in Black culture and history in the United States, while at the same time offering an exploration of the implications of the African Diaspora. The core courses give students the foundation to understand Blackness in the United States, and the electives offer a range of courses that students can select depending on their choice of focus. This minor will enable students, regardless of their chosen major, to become more cognizant of how understanding Blackness in the United States is essential to citizenship in a participatory democracy. Students take two (2) core classes and choose three (3) courses from among different subject areas.
