Question Afro-American Studies...

I'm thinking about thinking about my major, and what I'm REALLY interested in as opposed to what I thought would make for a good career when I started school... I feel like I'm in a ditch because on one hand, as a junimore (somewhere between a sophomore and a junior... it's a long story ) I have a better idea of what I want to get out of a school and a program than I did when I was a high-school senior, but on the other hand, I feel like a fish out of water.

Anyway, I was wondering, for any of you out there who majored in Africana or Afro-American studies, what are some things that a student should look for in selecting a program (i.e., does it make a difference if most are all of the teachers are black? if one is at a PWI or HBCU?) and what are some reccomendations for institutions with good quality, not "fluff" programs?

Right now I'm kind of beginning my search with UNCC, because of the African American Lit minor and Clark Atlanta, because it's a HBU and their Africana Women's Studies Prog.

I guess I'm just looking for some feedback/suggestions/commentary/discussion... because it seems like there aren't a lot of resources out there for evaluating AA Studies departments.
