Drawing on the philosophical and intellectual foundations of African culture and people of African descent, students will develop critical thinking, research, socially engaged scholarship, and activist skills that can be applied toward various transformative justice and liberation movements of the community.\n\n#### Program Learning Outcomes\n\nUpon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:\n\n1.  evaluate the development of the field of African American Studies;\n2.  effectively employ interdisciplinary methodologies in the analysis of issues stemming from structural and systemic oppression of African Americans;\n3.  identify and describe the general history and diversity of African American people in the U.S. and the Diaspora;\n4.  examine solutions toward social change, equity, and justice."
