Today’s employers seek highly educated graduates who understand racial diversity and cultural pluralism. This major will provide you with a deep appreciation for the diversity of human experience, and prepare you for success in a multiethnic workforce and world.
A multicultural education for a multicultural society
In small classes, you’ll work side by side with talented faculty with a deep understanding of the black experience globally. You’ll study the experiences of peoples of African descent from the historical, cultural, political and socioeconomic perspectives, and examine the relationships between Africans on the continent and those in the diaspora. Your courses will draw on multiple disciplines, including social sciences, natural sciences, fine arts, education and the humanities. Our curriculum is designed to prepare you for lifelong intellectual and professional competence in a diverse society.
More ways to learn—on campus and beyond
Practical experience is built into the curriculum. Through our outstanding study abroad programs, you can visit Ghana to explore the history and culture of one of the oldest empires of Western Sudan, or spend a semester learning at a distinguished university in South Africa. Our internships draw on Chicago’s vast cultural, corporate and governmental resources. We make our connections your connections, so you can test-drive your dream job in the real world. You can combine academic study with compassionate service to people in need, in the Chicago area or around the world. You even can complete your own, hands-on research projects in close collaboration with faculty.
