Welcome Home

We're glad you are visiting with us and we look forward to meeting you personally in one our wonderful classes!

AFAM courses are exciting, challenging and offer students (from all racial and ethnic backgrounds) the opportunity to hear and discuss important content, essential to Africa and the African American experience, in a constructive learning environment. Students are exposed to different theoretical approaches, typically taught in Black Studies. All students should emerge from the program with a clearer understanding of African-centered thought, as well as alternative paradigms articulated within the discipline.

Given the strength of the OU program, AFAM majors should be well prepared to enter top graduate AFAM programs anywhere in the country. Recent graduates of the program are also very competitive for Law School and the continuation of studies in a number of other areas such as history, community service, journalism, the arts, non-profit and education.
