Undergraduate Program

The Carter G. Woodson Institute was established in 1981 in response to student and faculty demands for a more coherent African-American and African Studies program and a more aggressive program of minority recruitment at the University.  The Institute offers several interdisciplinary undergraduate programs including:

• Major in African American and African Studies (AAS)

• Minor in African American and African Studies (AAS)

• Minor in African Studies (AS)

• Distinguished Majors Program (DMP) 

• Independent Study

Students should select their courses from the approved list posted on the Woodson Institute web site each semester.
