Bachelors in African American Studies

African American Studies is a multidisciplinary program designed to provide a critical understanding of the historical, cultural, social, and political experience of African Americans, with particular emphasis on the development and culture of the African American communities in California and the West as well as on both historical and contemporary effects of global issues on African American communities. The program is particularly appropriate for students preparing to work and interact with diverse communities and cultures in the United States and abroad in such fields as education, human services, law, business, journalism, and public administration.
