African American Studies
The minor in African American Studies is designed to underscore the contributions
of people of African descent to American history and to emphasize the importance
of diversity to the Corps of Cadets. Through the interdisciplinary study of history,
politics, literature, and sociology the program aims to highlight the significance
of race, gender, and ethnicity and to encourage an appreciation for cultural heritage
while promoting excellence in teaching, research, and community service. It further
aims:
-
To improve students’ knowledge of the African-American experience.
-
To cultivate students’ ability to think critically, to express themselves effectively, and to respect cultural and gender diversity.
-
To encourage faculty to share their expertise with the community and to maintain a community service component which promotes special classes, symposia, forums; the result will be a contribution to the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual growth of The Citadel and the community.
