Mission
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 nad Male and Female Gender classes. More classes
are in the process of being developed to expand course offerings in the
department.
