African American Studies Program
Welcome!
The African American Studies Program allows students to explore and evaluate elements of world and U.S. cultures that are often overlooked. This program:
- Gives students a deeper appreciation for the rich ethnic heritage that is part of the American mosaic
- Provides insight into the complex relationships between African Americans and U.S. society
- Addresses the collective experience of Africans of the diaspora, American slave descendants and anyone with black African heritage, who, despite slavery and colonialism, rose to impressive heights in all disciplines
- Highlights the continuous struggle for cultural preservation
