Our major is designed for maximum flexibility. The major begins with an introductory course in Black
American Studies (BAMS 110) and culminates in a major senior project that consists of one or more of
the following: an independent research project or senior thesis; an approved internship in a local
community or state-wide agency, and an electronic portfolio of experiences, accomplishments and
accumulated essays that reflect major lessons learned and ways to incorporate them in career plans. We also
emphasize research opportunities in both laboratory investigations and field settings.
