The African and African-American studies program is an interdisciplinary one. It is a comprehensive examination of the diversity of the experiences of people of Africa and the Africans diasporas.

The Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Program at Â鶹´«Ã½ addresses the need in our pluralistic society to broaden one's knowledge about Latin America, the Caribbean, and North Americans of Latin American and Caribbean ancestry. 

The minor in Sexuality and Queer Studies (SQS) centers on the identities and histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and gender-variant people with a particular focus on urban queer identities. The SQS minor examines how assumptions about sexuality and gender are constructed and emphasizes ways to navigate and resist those assumptions through the application of knowledge in a variety of settings including education, healthcare, the workplace, and community organizations.

As an interdisciplinary field, Women’s and Gender Studies trains students to use various research tools and theoretical approaches to problem-solving.
