• African American Studies & Double Majoring

  As a multi-subject discipline, African American Studies lends itself to double-majoring with a wide variety of other disciplines, depending upon the skills set, intellectual and career interests of the student. Within the limits of the 124 credit hours required for obtaining an undergraduate degree from EMU, a student has room enough to complete two areas of expertise--that is, two majors. Double majoring enables a student to be able to validly claim two areas of expertise which can only help, not hurt, in today's unstable job market. Below are examples of double-majoring options. Contact Dr. Victor Okafor, Department Head, if you have questions. You can reach him either by email (vokafor@emich.edu) or by telephone, 734-487-3460.
