Black Studies (BLS) @ UMass Dartmouth is an academic minor and interdisciplinary exploration of the arts, humanities and sciences from an Afrocentric perspective. The Black Studies (BLS) program provides an academic minor that engages students in an interdisciplinary exploration of the arts, humanities and social sciences from an Afrocentric perspective. The minor provides an opportunity for the

broad study of the various social, political, economic and aesthetic traditions and elements of the communities that comprise Africa and the African Diaspora. It signals to potential employers and graduate schools that a graduate has received a well-rounded liberal arts education, one that is at its core both socially conscious and engaged. In addition, the history, literature, scientific contributions, and communities of Black peoples are crucial to the fabric of the story of the United States — and to that of world history. A Black Studies minor is extremely valuable in a global era, where by it further expands critical thinking skills and an interdisciplinary methodology that are assets in any career. Formed in 1991 as the African & African American Studies program the program changed it's name in 2012 to Black Studies (BLS) and is in the process of revising it's curriculum and course offerings.
