Education

Africana Studies is devoted to the academic study of the history, culture and politics of African, African American, Afro-Latin, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-European populations. This interdisciplinary department employs analytical tools from fields such as Sociology, Literature, and History to explore important social issues facing people of African descent in continental Africa and throughout the African Diaspora. The Department of Africana Studies encourages research and scholarship in many dimensions of African and African American experiences. A commitment to social activism has been, is, and always should be a dimension of a program based in large part on justice.
The Department of Africana Studies is a scholar-activist department that encourages research and scholarship in many dimensions of African Diaspora experiences. Students enrolled in the department as majors receive the Bachelor of Arts degree. In addition to the major program, the department has also developed a number of other important academic and culturally-based programs, including a minor and more specialized African, Global Health and Minority Health certificates.
The faculty and staff of the Department of Africana Studies are dedicated to enabling students to receive the best education possible. Moreover, since we also believe that learning is a two-way process and that there is no substitute for "Brain Power," we are dedicated to the kinds of research that will be beneficial to each student and the larger community.
