Black Studies is an interdisciplinary exploration of the histories and cultures
of black peoples in Africa and the diaspora. It is also an inquiry into the social
construction of racial differences and its relation to the perpetuation of racism
and racial domination.
Major Program. The major in Black Studies consists of eight courses:
three core courses, three distribution courses, and two electives. The three
core courses are Black Studies 11 (normally taken by the end of the sophomore
year), Black Studies 12 (normally taken in the sophomore year), and Black Studies

choose the two electives from the Department’s offerings, from cross-listed
