Overview

Key facts

If you are interested in knowing more about the study of African American life, please visit other areas on the website including “Why African American Studies” and how prospective students might wish to pursue a Bachelor of Arts, a minor, or a Master of Arts or the joint Master of Arts-Juris Doctor degrees. Please contact the academic advisor for more information.
Finally, you will also find on our website how you might wish to get and stay involved with the department. For example, last year we were thrilled to surpass the annual Spark Campaign and raised critical funds for the students during Black History Month. Your outpouring support empowers the African American Studies Department at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a nationally recognized hub of scholarship on Black life throughout the globe. As such, I encourage you to also visit our News, Black Calendar, and Gallery sections on the website and the department’s YouTube channel that showcase our students, faculty, and our most memorable public events.
