African American Studies at Penn State
African American Studiesexamines the history of people of African descent from the colonial period through the present. This includes studying racial inequality and social movements, and exposing students to the ideas, institutions, and practices that African-American peoples have used to survive and shape the modern world. Our multidisciplinary program draws upon expertise in the College of the Liberal Arts and Penn State at large while remaining a close-knit family that brings together students, faculty, staff, and the broader African-American community. |
