Extractions: Our Mission The Faculty The Curriculum The Graduates ... Who's Who in AASD The African American Studies Department (AASD) at the University of Maryland fosters academic excellence in teaching and research on African-American life, history and culture. AASD's commitment to the development of intellectual growth for students and scholars accomplishes an equally important service for the African-American community as a whole: the quantitative analytical skills generic to social science research are put to use in the examination of the socio-economic problems confronting African-American communities in the United States. Scholarly examination of African-American communities helps illuminate the parallels, contradictions and strengths evident in all communities. Thus, while the specific subject matter of the program is African-American communities, the essential value of the program extends to studies of other cultures and communities around the world. The African American Studies faculty at UMCP is interdisciplinary and consists of a core faculty of anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and economists. The program also calls on faculty from other departments and colleges throughout the University. Much of the research conducted by the faculty is on the cutting edge of scholarship on the Black community. Members of the faculty consult with a variety of agencies and appear at national and international conferences and programs. They are known moreover for their commitment to working closely with students in the program and for helping them develop the skills and capabilities for tackling the social and economic issues facing the black and other minority communities.

Extractions: SUBJECT HEADINGS FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN RELIGIOUS STUDIES The Library of Congress supplies a standard set of subject headings used by most libraries, including Emory. The search term for African American or Black American is Afro-American . The single hyphen between Afro and American must be included when typing. Works may also be listed under Afro-Americans [plural] when the subject deals with African Americans as a group. The term Afro-American is used primarily as an adjective modifying another group designation. For example, Afro-Americans - Civil rights deals with the civil rights of African Americans, while Afro-American Civil rights workers refers to civil rights workers who are African American. When searching for groups who temporarily reside in the United States (such as alien residents, students from abroad, etc.), use Blacks United States .

Untitled Document Internships Internships and Research assistantship for the Birmingham Civil rights Institute are available through the African American studies program. http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~niyi/degreeinfo.html
Extractions: It is a course of study which examines African life and culture, both on the continent and diaspora. Over 30 million African Americans live in the United States today. The African presence in the United States dates over 400 years, (pre-1776), yet very little is known about the African American heritage and culture, not to mention the far-reaching contribution of African people to the human civilization. To be able to undertake any kind of meaningful study or contribution toward African American people, be it in medicine, psychology, dentistry, elementary education, history, religion or philosophy, it is highly imperative that you have a formidable academic background in African American Studies. The area of study provides the student with an added dimension which would be lacking in a traditional degree. African American Studies graduates have gone on to become chiropractors, teachers, professors, university administrators, social workers, civil servants, counselors, lawyers and police officers. UAB Career Services Office conducts an annual Job Fair, where employers visit the school in search of graduating students. UABs African American Studies is approached from an Africa-centered perspective, with opportunity for concentration in either a social behavioral or cultural aesthetic emphasis. Unlike most African American Studies programs in the United States anchored in the humanities and social sciences, the UAB program offers courses in African American Medical Issues and Public Health. On the undergraduate level, the African American Studies program offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in African American Studies. It is also possible for a student majoring in African American Studies, to select a double major(with some other area such as history, business, music, pre-med) and still graduate within the normal 128-hour requirement. The African American Studies curriculum emphasizes new ground-breaking research which experts in the field have acquired and places this knowledge in the context of a fairly traditional liberal arts orientation.
