African-American Studies is an interdisciplinary program that spans several disciplines, including art, history, literature, politics, sociology, and music. Courses listed below meet the requirements of the African-American studies minor, but other courses across the curriculum that include an appropriate proportion of material on Africans or African-Americans may be substituted with the approval of the program's advisory committee.
