African American Studies, B.S.
About This Program
Students will examine fundamental concepts such as the social, legal, and economic systems that came to be as a result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and African migration, as well as the cultures, communities, and artistic expression that emerged as a result throughout the African diaspora.
Are you thinking about pursuing a degree in African American Studies? Our program provides students with a deep understanding of the history, culture, and lived experiences of Americans of African descent.
If you are considering majoring in African American Studies, learn how our Rattlers have found inspiration in the program, what motivated them to study the African diaspora, and how it has prepared them for careers in education, research, social service, and beyond.
I absolutely love being able to study a topic that I am passionate about. It is also a degree program not offered at many school. FAMU has extended an opportunity for me to accomplish a lifelong dream of studying history specific to the African American/Black experience.
