About

An Interdepartmental Major in African American and African Diaspora Studies and Communication will prepare you for fields such as social services, minority group relations, and community development. It is also ideal for undergraduate students interested in pursuing graduate study in the humanities and social sciences.

This program focuses on the understanding of African American and African Diaspora literature, seen in the context of American and English literature. You will integrate your knowledge and understanding of the African American and African Diaspora experience as it coexists with the English language and literature studies.

If you are interested, the Department of Minority Studies also offers a concentration in Latino Studies, an interdepartmental degree in English, and a postbaccalaureate certificate in Community Development and Urban Affairs.
