African-American Studies Minor

The undergraduate minor in African-American studies is an interdisciplinary academic program designed to be complementary to any of the undergraduate majors of Montclair State. The African-American and African syntheses within the context of African, American and European culture are presented with their transcultural, interethnic and intellectual traditions-providing an appreciation of the heritage, arts, sciences and values on non-European and non-Euro-American groups. The African-American Studies program will also provide for Black students a greater knowledge of self, self-respect and self-esteem. African-American Studies for other students will build knowledge and awareness of African-American history, African-American culture and African-American people. Students who are interested in completing the requirements of the minor are urged to consult with the director about their programs.
