The African-American Studies minor is interdepartmental in nature. The courses are offered jointly in their respective departments and under the auspices of the African-American Studies program. The central goal of the program is to heighten students’ awareness of African-American contributions to the United States.

In addition to the regular courses, the African-American Studies program holds a monthly symposium and workshop series which attempts to expose the University community to major questions relevant to the Black experience.

The African-American Studies courses are open to all students.
