The Minor

The 18-credit minor in Black Studies requires completion of:

1. Introduction to Black Studies, BL 101.
2. Five additional courses drawn from a variety of disciplines. These courses must be drawn from the social sciences or history, and from the humanities; no more than three courses can come from either area. The five courses must represent three different disciplines. At least three must be 'Focus' courses while the other two may be 'Component' courses.
