African and African American Studies

The African and African American Studies Program examines the importance of the intellectual and cultural history of the global African presence in the general scheme of world affairs. We work primarily from the African American experience outwards to the African Diaspora and, ultimately, the source-head of all things African: the African continent. Our program expands by focusing on the importance of the intellectual and cultural history of the global African presence in the general scheme of world affairs.  

Degree offered: minor
