The Intercollegiate Department of Black Studies offers a multidisciplinary curriculum that examines the experiences of African, African American, and Caribbean people from the liberal arts perspective. The Black Studies curriculum helps to unify an important area of intellec­tual investigation, and enhances appreciation of particular disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Courses accommodate the needs of majors and non-majors, providing significant preparation for careers in education, social work, public policy, law, medicine, business, international relations, and advanced research.

A major in Black Studies is available through Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges. This interdisciplinary major introduces students to the broad range of research and scholarship of African, African American, and Caribbean people.
