Graduate School Preparatory Program
Our mission is to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion by helping students from underrepresented backgrounds successfully apply to, complete, and thrive in graduate and professional programs.
Muhlenberg’s Africana Studies Program intertwines scholarship and activism in pursuit of building an equitable world.
Our interdisciplinary courses and extracurricular events center and celebrate the vibrant histories, cultures, and contributions of Black populations around the world and offer robust discussions of the history of anti-Black racism and its contemporary reverberations.
The Africana Studies Program uses anti-racist, intersectional frameworks to prepare students from all backgrounds to identify and dismantle racist systems; contribute to our diverse world in ethical, transformative ways; and embark upon a variety of career paths and life experiences equipped to be empathetic, innovative global citizens who are committed to imagining and implementing positive social change.
