Business Administration Curriculum

This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary study of the African experience on the continent and in its Diaspora with particular focus on Blacks of the United States of America. As an introductory course, it provides the student with a concise, but substantive, intellectual foundation for critical thinking and understanding of the social forces that impact African life in Diaspora. The course is interdisciplinary taking sub-disciplinary turns toward the Black experience: history, psychology, sociology, and political science. Although a survey approach is employed, emphasis is placed on inquiry, discovery, analysis, and synthesis as keys to building the student’s intellectual and scholarly grounding in understanding the Black experience. To strengthen this understanding, the course involves a service-learning experience designed, in a Freirean sense, to “integrate” the student with his environment by providing a direct experience of conditions that African Americans and immigrant African communities face. Adopting Service Learning enhances the course by giving students an opportunity to think critically about the world outside of the classroom and make the texts that students are assigned more relevant.
