Caseworker at a Social Service agency. Well there are a variety of African American courses. There is AA Lit, Afro Caribbean Studies, Black Women in America, Blacks in Political Science just to name a few. I have taken a few courses in Black Studies.

You would probably need a Masters, but from my experience, with a BA you can probably get a job in nonprofit agencies; substance abuse programs; Social Work, family agencies, museums, political campaigns, TV or Radio stations. Good luck

Just an idea...have you ever thought about Political Science? You could double major in both, or take a major in one and a minor in the other...then you could do alot...cuz from what I saw over the last few months, I think you would do well in the political arena
