Graduate Handbook 1. The African American Studies graduate program focuses on the life, culture, and social organization broadly defined of persons of African descent. The study of Africa, North America, and the Caribbean are central components of the program. Students are expected to apply a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the international and national divisions of race as they pertain to persons of African descent, wherever they may find themselves.

Such an approach is to be employed for the study and understanding of development and underdevelopment, domination and power, self determination, mutual cooperation, and aesthetic and creative expression. A minimum of two years or four semesters of academic residence is required by the university for all Ph.

Academic residence is defined as enrollment in at least 12 units in the series of courses. Upcoming Graduate Events. Commemoration Jan 16, , pm. The 36th Annual Brooklyn Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
