Overview

African American studies examine the unique experiences of African-descended people living in the North American colonies and the United States from the 17th century to today. Students who take courses in this area acquire a special skill set that will enable them to critically interrogate their own experience, as well as the world around them. The degree program also provides valuable background for careers in areas such as community work, public school teaching, religion, government, political science, and law. University of Iowa's African American Studies Program features a broad-based curriculum and faculty who specialize in a wide range of topics. Because it is a small program, there are many opportunities for individualized attention. The department formed in 1969 with courses intended to foster awareness of the role of African Americans in the development of the United States. Courses also were designed to promote understanding of the conditions and concerns of African Americans. Since then, the curriculum has grown and has become more comprehensive. Because a thorough understanding of the African American experience cannot be achieved through study restricted to the perspective of a single discipline, all students are required to pursue courses in the humanities, social sciences, and performing arts.
