AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES (614)

The objectives of Afro-American Studies are to provide a systematic study of the experiences, conditions, and origins of Afro-American people, their philosophical, religious, and social values, their various modes of artistic expression, and the way in which each of these cultural aspects is interrelated. In this way Afro-American Studies provides the student with an opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of the history, social organization, current conditions, and problems that face Afro-Americans as a racial minority in the United States. Additionally, the study of the Afro-American experience will unfold and analyze the Afro-American contribution to the American heritage.
