African American Studies
Engage in a comprehensive exploration of African and African American experiences. Through these courses, you’ll not only sharpen your reading, writing, and critical thinking skills, but you’ll also be empowered to become a catalyst for change in your community, society, and beyond.
The Africana/African American Studies Program is in partnership with the Africana Studies Department at San Francisco State University. SFSU was the first four year college to have a Black Studies Department (later changed to Africana Studies).
Our interdisciplinary curriculum spans the Humanities, Behavioral Sciences, and Social Sciences, with a range of classes listed below. We’re also proud to offer a major in African American Studies.
