The Black Studies program delves into the historical and contemporary study of African people in Africa and the Americas. It provides enrichment in the social sciences and humanities by giving you the opportunity to link the tools of formal analysis to a specific cultural area in the African experience through courses in African history, art, economics, United States history, literature, music, psychology, sociology and politics from a Black perspective.
