Overview

Students who major in African American studies at Saint Louis University develop new ways of conceptualizing issues related to race and culture. If you pursue this major, you will learn about the cultures and histories of people of African heritage, both in the United States and throughout the world.

Students in SLU's African American Studies program become knowledgeable about the African diaspora and are prepared to seek careers or professional programs where they can utilize knowledge in the design and implementation of programs for, and on behalf of, African Americans.

The African American studies interdisciplinary program complements many other majors offered at SLU, including degrees in communication, marketing, political science, psychology and social work. Our students also have unique academic opportunities — such as internships and field service projects in African American communities — to challenge themselves outside the classroom.
