The minor concentration in African American Studies is for those students who, though concentrating in other disciplines, desire a knowledge of the African American experience in sociology, history, the humanities, and psychology. The required courses provide the background necessary for undergraduates in general, as well as for preprofessionals, to appreciate the main foci and people who have created the experience of African Americans in the United States. Minors should develop their program in consultation with the director of African American Studies. Students must earn a minimum grade of C in courses taken toward the minor concentration. Courses A total of six courses is required.
