<p>In the minor students will examine the cultural, historical,
economic, and political dimensions and experiences of people of African
descent in America, the Caribbean, Africa, and throughout the Diaspora.
Students will learn theories and methodologies that are used to examine
the complex dynamics of race, class, gender, and ethnicity in America.
Through this program, students are able to develop critical and
analytical approaches to societal issues because such issues are
addressed and delineated through a variety of academic disciplines.</p>
<p>Students are encouraged to do an internship as part of the minor to
further enhance their education and provide them with valuable
preparation for the workforce.</p>
