Diaspora Minor

Students desiring a minor in African and African American Studies may select one of three areas of concentration: African Diaspora Studies, African Studies, or African American Studies. Minors (especially African Diaspora minors) are encouraged to elect at least one diaspora course, which may be substituted for either area requirement. A senior seminar is not required, but is strongly recommended.

  • One African survey course: AAAS 11,14, or 15

Four electives, which must include one course each with the following distributive designations:

  • One course in SOC, PHR or TAS
  • One course in ART or LIT

The elective courses for the diaspora minor must include two area courses in addition to the survey courses:

  • One course on African America (including the Caribbean)
