Description

African American Studies is a course of study that examines African life and culture, both on the African continent and in the US. Unlike most African American Studies programs in the humanities and social sciences, UAB's program lets you explore a much wider range of the African American experience in areas like medicine, nursing, public health, dentistry, business, and engineering. You will learn important skills like critical thinking, analytical reading, writing, quantitative literacy, and public speaking so that you are ready to critically engage, incorporate, and represent issues and perspectives regarding race and African Americans.
