PROGRAM: AFRICANA STUDIES

The Africana Studies Program offers a major, interdepartmental major, and minor focused on the history, culture and social development of people of African descent. Students gain immersive learning experiences and engage in campus activities.

The program includes three-week mini-terms. In Senegal, students explore globalization, poverty, religion, and women’s issues. The South Africa term in Cape Town examines history from public, individual and historical perspectives.

Students also join clubs celebrating African and diasporic cultures, such as the African Student Association, African Dance Club, LatinX Dance Club, National Society of Black Engineers, Muslim Students Association and Portuguese Club.
