A federal grant will help the University of
Arkansas at Pine Bluff`s Social and Behavioral Sciences Department
establish a minor in African Studies and African Languages.
The 75-thousand dollar federal Education Department grant is
matched by the university. This is the installment of a two-year
grant.
Also, the National Science Foundation gave the university
50-thousand dollars for a Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics program at historically black colleges and
universities. That money will focus on student development in those
study areas.
The money comes in recognition of U-A-P-B efforts at student
retention in these programs. The grant money, industrial technology
Professor Charles Colen says, will help retain those students and
prepare for future students.
