Our major and minor degree programs are well-structured, comprehensive in scope, and thus provide our student-scholars with an impressive foundational knowledge while leaving room for individualized scholarly foci. No institution offers a better degree program in Black Studies. We invite you to consider our department as you explore your scholarly pursuits.
