A reasonably comprehensive but by no means exhaustive listing of courses that may be counted toward the Major or the Minor appears below. Not all courses are offered every semester, and newly-added courses not yet in the Catalog may qualify. This listing is designed as an advising aid for faculty and students to ensure a coherent plan of study.
Group One contains courses that are mandatory for each Concentration. Group Two and Group Three list electives from which at least 27 credits must be taken. The classification of AFST 480 , AFST 495 -AFST 496 and AFST 498 depends on the topic. A course can be counted only under one group. Concentration in African-American Studies
