Interdepartmental Program in African American Studies
Degrees Awarded: MA, MA/JD
Originally born during the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Afro-American Studies major was designed to fill a void that existed at UCLA in terms of scholarly and curricular material relevant to the African American experience. Students and faculty currently associated with the program see the major as meeting a number of academic, personal, and social needs.
The MA program in Afro-American Studies in interdepartmental, with formal support linkages to nine disciplinary departments: Anthropology, English, History, Linguistics, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Related courses are also offered in the following schools and departments: African Area Studies, Art, Dance, Economics, Education, Folklore and Mythology, Geography, Information Studies, Latin American Studies, Management, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, Public Health, Social Welfare, Theater, and World Arts and Cultures. The Afro-American Studies program and the School of Law offer a concurrent degree program whereby students may pursue the MA in Afro-American Studies and JD degrees at the same time. For admission, applicants are required to satisfy the regular admission requirements of both schools. Twelve units of law coursework may be double counted toward the MA degree.
