African and African American Studies

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in African and African American Studies (AFR). A minor is also available. The department’s central mission is to offer students a deeper understanding of the intellectual, political, and cultural contributions of people of primarily African descent. The interdisciplinary approach of African and African American Studies provides students with the opportunities to engage in critical thinking across a spectrum of fields, including history, psychology, environmental and agricultural science, gender and sexuality studies, peace and social justice studies, transnational migration, political science, economics, health, media and technology, art, literature, music, theater, and other forms of expressive culture.

Asian Studies Department

Asian Studies

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Asian Studies or a minor in Asian Studies. Majors choose one of 3 concentrations: Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, or Comparative Asian Studies. Many students opt to combine Asian Studies with other majors or minors, including Art History, Computer Science, and History. Chinese and Japanese languages are taught at Berea.
