 Black Studies is a 22-credit minor that requires the following and can best be constructed in consultation with the Black Studies Coordinator, Professor Barbara Shaw.

• BLKST 100, Introduction to Black Studies
• At least one of the following CORE courses: ENGL 234, BLKST/HIST 255, or BLKST/HIST 257
• At least one of the following DISCIPLINARY courses: BLKST 225, COMJ 350, ENGL 113, ENVSC 352, and HIST 571. IF these are not offered in a given semester, please contact Professor Barbara Shaw for additional guidance.
• Related courses may fill out the rest of the minor: such as COMJ 260, COMJ 270, COMJ 460, HIST 261, HIST 269, HIST 324, HIST 345, HIST 361, HIST 563, PHGIL 210, POLSC 303, RELST 146, WGSS 210, WGSS 225, WGSS 275, WGSS 300, WGSS 310, and WGSS 410.
• The Black Studies capstone experience is named in the catalog as BLKST 480, Capstone Seminar (2 credits). This course does not exist and has been replaced by an upper-level discipline-related course.
• At least one course must be at the 300-level or higher.
• Black Studies is an interdivisional minor and so may be combined with any other program on campus as a major.
