African American and Black Diasporic Studies


www.creighton.edu/program/african-american-black-diasporic-studies-minor

African American and Diasporic Studies Minor is the interdisciplinary study of American history, literature, politics, social sciences, education, and the arts through the prism of the African American experience. African American and Diasporic Studies enables students to investigate, more widely, areas in the Humanities and Social Sciences connected to their major or track, to help them develop cultural competency (applicable to medicine, social work, pharmacy and other professions). As contemplatives in action, students and faculty will draw from the study of the African American experience to engage with the local, national and global community as men and women for others. Independent studies and independent research are available to advanced students.
