拥有非裔美国人和非裔散居研究和宗教研究专业的跨学士学位的学士学位课程为学生提供了探索和研究宗教及其对非裔美国人生活和文化影响的机会。两个系的基础课程都使学生对全球宗教传统和思想以及非洲人后裔的历史，文化和艺术贡献以及影响力有了很深的基础知识。当学生在两个不同的部门之间分配时间时，他们的课程选择将对宗教如何以及为什么在非裔美国人的历史，艺术，政治和文化中扮演着重要角色的理解交织在一起。
The Departments of African American and African Diaspora Studies (AAADS) and Religious Studies offer an interdepartmental major that allow you to explore and examine the intersection of religion and its influences in African American life and culture. Foundational courses in both departments give students a strong base knowledge of global religious traditions and ideas, and the historical, cultural, and artistic contributions and influences of people of African descent. While students split their time between the two different departments, their course selection weaves together an understanding of how and why religion plays the part that it does in African American history, art, politics and culture. Graduates from the AAADS and Religious Studies interdepartmental major successfully pursue careers in law, education, criminal justice, politics, business, community organizing, and the non-profit sector. These students often seek out graduate programs in areas such as African American studies, religious studies, law, seminary, and business school.
