Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] Afro-American Studies
The course of study is interdisciplinary with courses in African and Afro-American history, art, political science, and literature. Students in our department have the opportunity to participate in a variety of on- and off-campus learning situations. The training and experience of the faculty provides a perspective on the history, culture, and place in the world of Africans and Afro-Americans that differs markedly from that of the traditional disciplines. This approach to the study of humanity offers a better understanding of the totality of human experience.
