What Does One Do With An AFAM Degree

What are the guys from the 05 & 09 championship teams doing now? That should answer your question.
Race bait on social media as far as I can tell.
I come from a family of coal miners and was the first in my family to go to college. I went to the university to study for a career that would get me out of the mines. I can't imagine taking courses that would lead me to a lower standard of living than working in the mines. I just don't understand I guess. Like I say I am old school so forgive me.
Sounds like a cross between a sociology and History degree, but more obscure and useless.
Hate to say it but the majority of undergrad degrees are worthless. Gradute school is really where people learn things they can actually use in a career.
I was a psychology major and I ended up going to business school.

always wondered that myself...
I mean...I understand that it could be a class...but a Major field?
What does it qualify one to do?...I don't know...i have more questions than answers...
the way we are going as a nation...i'm surprised it's not a requirement to graduate...though I think some universities are going in that direction...

Shame white people about the actions their great great great grandparents did?
That's because you have white privilege. And if you knew anything about AFAM, you'd check that white privilege.
I think I just earned 3 credit hours.
I actually just about use nothing I learned from both undergrad and graduate degrees. Actually pretty much hated the MBA program. Thank God I always had free tuition.
I just think all these well-to-do white supremacists from Appalachia need to apologize for institutionalizing racism and building their communities on the backs of poor black people. If only the tobacco farmers, coal miners, and other blue collar workers from the state of Kentucky could sincerely apologize in unison for victimizing, marginalizing, and demeaning persons of color, then we could move forward as a society, or something.
Got another 3 credit hours for that one, I think.
It's surprising what you can do with a degree from UNC. One of their athletes wanted to be an engineering major so he could learn how to drive a choo choo train.
Well, I earned two BA's in history and political science in 2003 (take a guess from where 
) and I knew all along they weren't the kind of majors you were gonna make six figures from. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, where I live there just weren't much in the way of "college level" jobs out there and even more unfortunately, I was forced to go on disablity in 2011 as well as be a stay-at-home 24/7 caretaker for my wife (who is also severely physically disabled as well as mental/emotional).
But I'm still very very proud of my degrees as well as the memories and experience that came with the UK experience, even though back then they were "not yet great", as my coffee mug from that era says they are the next great university...why couldn't they have been great already?

I actually got, among other things, a degree in African American studies.
I worked in pro sports for a number of years, and then became a teacher.
Not sure if you are looking for a real answer, of course But it is similar to the non-skill related degrees that lead to pre-med and the like

But it is similar to the non-skill related degrees that lead to pre-med and the likeMost undergraduate degrees have no specific value, but simply having a college degree of any kind will make it easier to get many jobs compared to having no degree. I'm just thinking of my many friends employed by Humana in Louisville, I don't think they really had degrees targeted to the kind of work they're doing, just have various degrees. For many people, though, unless you have a specific career in mind that a degree will help you get to (or a graduate program you want to shoot for), a technical school diploma is going to be more valuable to your earning potential than a generic bachelor's.

Actually I was looking for a real answer because I did not know and I thank you for sharing. To me and my generation, this is a new concept in education. Maybe future generations can come up with a degree in say Scot Irish studies. Or Italian American studies or maybe even Asian America studies. As people of Scot Irish ancestry my family might be interested as they could find out where they came from and what their ancestors had to endure. The King of England was pretty cruel to us you know. A degree in Scot Irish ancestry and a dollar could buy them a cup of coffee I suppose
Actually I think black history is quite an interesting/fascinating field personally. You'd be surprised at how many blacks, women, etc made some major contributions in history/tech behind the scenes.
For example, did you know that like Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson also faced court martial as an Army officer for refusing to give up his seat to a white man, at least a decade or so before Rosa?

Strong work.
Dean's List quality. At least at UNC.
It's shocking what you can major in these days. Here are some examples of bachelor degrees you could get at the University of Oregon when I worked there:
Classics
Fibers
Folklore
Medieval Studies
Romance Languages
Classics
Fibers
Folklore
Medieval Studies
Romance Languages
I'm not sure what you are suggesting about Classics or Romance language degrees (French/Spanish / Portuguese/ Catalonian/Italian/ etc.).These degrees have great value in numerous careers.
alot of these degrees are to give a person diversity when apply for things like law school, dental school, med school, pa school, etc, helps them look better on paper and helps the university fill a quota

Let me see if I understand; you teach sports and post pictures of smiley faces. Yep, that's an afam degree if I ever read about one....(Sorry, had to do it.)
It's a liberal arts degree. I got one and worked from the day I graduated in tech. My wife has a liberal arts degree and has had several jobs. Some involving fairly high tech. Ditto our daughter. Almost all of our friends and their children have liberal arts degrees of one kind or another. All are employed. The idea that college is supposed to be a trade school is a recent one.
Interesting. never knew she was in the army.
An AFAM degree can lead to being President of the United States. Of course after you become a 'community organizer'.
Glad I read the entire thread. Was gonna post the same thing.
They majored in "Eligibility". I think it's no coincidence that AFAM was chosen for their fake class scam; they probably figured no one would have the nerve to question it.
