Students are encouraged to participate in fieldwork and internships, with study abroad opportunities available for them in Africa and the Caribbean.

Ohio Wesleyan University recognizes how different areas of the black experience influence each other, so the program reflects that. the university's courses show the connection between politics, the arts, geography, education, business, and other areas. With these classes, students will develop an awareness and appreciation of the social, political, and cultural diversity of the black world. They will also be able to recognize, evaluate, and analyze the historic, artistic, scientific, and humanitarian contributions of Africans, individually and collectively, to the world.
