THE AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM
AT RUTGERS-CAMDEN


CATALOG DESCRIPTION

The program in African American studies is designed to provide students with a sound understanding of the black experience nationally and internationally, while focusing on North America. The interdepartmental and inter-disciplinary features of the program allow for a broad and varied exposure to black culture, economics, politics, and history from Africa to the Americas. Each African American studies major must take 33 credits in courses approved for the major and select a departmental minor; the required departmental minor may not be in another interdisciplinary or area program. Thus the program focuses the course of study on material that prepares students for meaningful careers of their choice and/or advanced degree training.

Students who wish to major in African American studies should consult with the program director. A grade point average of 2.0 or better is required in courses for the major or minor in African American studies. This program can be completed only through daytime attendance.
