Program Description
The mission of African and African American Studies (AFS) is to provide students with a rigorous education that will enable them to become intelligent and productive citizens who are committed to using their learning to help advance both the world in general and the particular environment in which they live. AFS provides students the critical understanding that will especially enable them to think, speak, and write intelligently about the experiences and contributions of Black people in America. As a Program, AFS draws its teaching faculty from faculty teaching in other Liberal Arts Departments. For students who are interested, AFS gives special attention to helping them gain admission into doctoral degree programs. AFS accomplishes this by supporting and working closely with the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT). Located in Andover Massachusetts, IRT places students in Ph. D. programs all across this country. Students interested in participating in IRT should contact the AFS director before the beginning of their junior year. |
