History
Brief, one paragraph / The College of Alameda’s African American Studies Department mission, in alignment with the College’s mission, is to meet the educational needs of its community by providing comprehensive and flexible programs which will enable students to transfer to four year institutions, to earn degrees and certificates in selected academic and occupational fields, to prepare for positions in the workforce, to improve their basic learning skills and to expand their general knowledge.
The African American Studies Department mission is to expand the student’s knowledge base, to assist them in becoming critical thinkers and to increase their research skills through reading and writing. The department has offered only African American history classes in the past. It has currently expanded to offering classes on The Black Family and Male and Female Gender classes. More classes are in the process of being developed to expand course offerings in the department
