About
The Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies degree program prepares you for productive local, national, and international careers or graduate work. It is grounded in the essential theory and basic information about people of African descent that serves as a foundation of knowledge for advanced study in the discipline.
Recognizing the importance of cross-cultural understanding and regional differences of the African experience, the program also provides a transnational perspective on the life, history, and culture of people of African descent in the United States, Latin America, Canada, the Caribbean Europe, and Africa.
To ensure coherence within the overall major, you must also complete one introductory course and one senior seminar capstone course.
