Academic Advantages
Academically, students will be
able to take advantage of several
Hampton programs not present at
the University. One particular
strength is the Black Studies
program. There are, for instance,
about seven Black Literature
courses at Hampton and the
school's Peabody Collection of
African art is the seventh largest in
the world.
Also, Hampton offers a major in
Mass Media. The Communications
division, part of the Department of
Drama, offers courses in journalism;
a new internship program in
television in cooperation with a
local commercial channel; and
other media studies. Additionally,
the school has a contract with
Time-Life Publishing.
