welcome.

The Black Studies Department was established in 1971 and is one of the oldest Black Studies departments in the country. It is a vital component of UNO's College of Arts and Sciences as it contributes to the University's liberal arts education by providing a multidisciplinary sequence of courses covering the history, tradition, and cultural heritage of African and African-descended peoples of the diaspora.  Black Studies offer students, university personnel, and the community opportunities to study history, philosophy, social psychology, politics, economics, aesthetics and religion of black people, both in Africa and the diaspora.

As a discipline, Black Studies is an academic enterprise, which seeks to systematically examine the black experience from a holistic perspective, and is committed to the preparation of UNO students for the challenges of living in a multicultural, urban society.
