Suffolk University's Black studies minor offers an interdisciplinary course of study that spans history, the social sciences, and the humanities. You will explore Black history and culture not only in Africa or the United States, but also throughout the African Diaspora in all parts of the world.
Your studies will be completely inclusive of the Black experience, which has been a central part of the history of the world, and particularly the United States.

You'll take two required courses (Introduction to Black Studies I and II) before choosing three electives to earn this minor. The field of Black studies is a global one, and we'll encourage you to pursue study abroad opportunities. You may complete some of this minor's requirements while studying abroad or taking classes with an international component.
