In the context of increasing globalization, study abroad has become more integral to the education of undergraduate students. This is also true for the field of Black Studies, which by definition is international/global. The minor program in Black Studies at Suffolk University encourages students to pursue study abroad opportunities and is willing to work with any of the programs that Black Studies minors choose. However, though there are a wide variety of programs in existence, not all of them are apropos for Black Studies. Therefore, the Black Studies program has developed, and will develop programs that are designed to enhance and augment a student’s study and research in the field of Black Studies.

Students may complete some of the requirements for the Black Studies minor while doing study abroad, or through current classes that have an international component. Interested students should contact the Director of the Black Studies Program.
