AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES 4163 DEGREE PROGRAMS ACTUARIAL SCIENCE (See Mathematics) AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES (574) 520-4408 www.iusb.edu/~sbafam Coordinator: Mattox Faculty Advisors: Bennion, Grant, James, Lambert, Lidinsky, Mattox, Randall, Roth, Tetzlaff A minor in African American Studies provides students with a focused understanding of the vital role of African American culture and contributions in American life. The minor consists of a core introductory course, an African American history course, and three elective courses, forming a total of 15 credit hours. The approach is interdisciplinary, combining the social and behavioral sciences, the humanities, business, and education. In addition to broadening students’ awareness, this minor is expected to enhance students’ employability in an increasingly diverse society. African American Studies, as defined by one of its leading scholars, is “the systematic study of the black experience, framed by the socioeconomic, cultural, and geographical boundaries of sub-Saharan Africa and the black diaspora.” MINOR IN AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES (All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.) A grade of C– or higher is required in each of the courses that count toward the minor. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 is required for the minor. REQUIREMENTS (15 CR.) Core Courses (6 cr.)

Students minoring in African American Studies should make every effort to take them as soon as they appear on a course schedule. Other courses in African American Studies are added as soon as possible. Note: With an African American emphasis means that the African American Studies Committee has reviewed the syllabus of the instructor and determined that it fits into the minor. It also means that the student is expected to complete one major assignment or research paper on an African American topic when taking the course. Electives eligible for the minor are listed in the published course schedules under the heading African American Studies (AFAM). AMERICAN STUDIES (574) 520-4128 Coordinator: Bennion American Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to diverse aspects of American culture and society. Students are encouraged to pursue their own special interests and to take courses in a number of different departments, acquiring some familiarity with social, economic, political, literary, and historical perspectives.

1643 COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES MINOR IN AMERICAN STUDIES A student who wishes to earn a minor in American Studies should select an advisor from the faculty listed above and, in consultation with that advisor, design a program to be approved by the American Studies Committee. The program must include at least 15 credit hours in courses about the United States, with at least 9 credit hours at the 300-level or above. Courses must be selected from at least two departments outside of the student’s major. Course grades must be at a level of C– or higher to be counted toward a minor in American Studies. Students must also complete a portfolio project designed to synthesize their work in American Studies. The portfolio includes three to five pieces of the student’s written work from courses counting toward the minor, as well as a brief, reflective essay explaining what the student has learned about the United States and its promises of democracy, liberty, and equality.
