Why You Should Major in African American Studies
Discussion
Fontbonne offers a minor in African-American Studies that enhances students' majors by providing an in-depth look at historic, political, and contemporary issues from the perspective of the African-American community and their contributions.
- How would you describe the value or importance of African American Studies?
- What benefits or skills does it offer students?
- What is (or should be) the relationship between the African American Studies minor and the social justice requirement that is part of the general education curriculum?
- Should Fontbonne consider a major in African American Studies? Why or why not?

Lee DeLaet: Please consider adding this minor to your academic program! Working in advising I can attest to its welcomed reception by more and more students! I recommend this link for a contemporary POV: https://thebestschools.org/magazine/importance-of-african-american-studies/ To learn more about how it can enhance your Fontbonne experience and beyond, I would also encourage interested students to contact Dr. Corinne Mason at CMason@Fontbonne.edu for more information.
