Comparative women's studies are an integral part of the Women's Research and Resource Center's groundbreaking programs. A first among historically Black colleges, this unique interdisciplinary program emphasizes Black feminist theory, women's health, digital media documentation stories of women's lives, and activism.

The B.A. Track in Cultural Anthropology focuses on the issues, modes of inquiry, fieldwork strategies, data collection methods and analysis, and ethnographic representation forms that characterize contemporary cultural anthropology.

The program trains professionals capable of designing cultural actions and promoting access to culture. Thus, it is part of the historical process of democratization of culture and brings it up to date in a relevant way in today's fields.

The Race and Ethnicity Studies Program offers a minor designed to examine race and ethnicity as categories of difference and as forms of lived experience and attends to how these categories intersect and overlap with other forms of difference (such as gender, nation, indigeneity, class, religion, ability, sexuality, etc.). The minor approaches race and ethnicity as constructs in particular historical contexts from interdisciplinary, comparative, intercultural, and transnational perspectives. It also develops a critical awareness of colonial and Eurocentric influences on both the construction of these categories and the scholarly discourse about them. The minor thus provides a critical lens on a variety of historical and contemporary issues and debates generated by specific racial and ethnic formations. At the same time, the minor takes note of mobilizations and liberating cultural expressions that have emerged both in response and as alternatives to dominant racial and ethnic structures.
