The African Studies Program is a Title VI National Resource Center for African area and language study.
The interdisciplinary approach allows you the opportunity to explore Africa in depth while having the freedom to choose from a number of courses that best fit your academic and professional objectives. You are required to complete a minimum of 47 quarter hours of coursework in addition to nine hours of language study, unless the language requirement has been met prior to enrollment in the program. At least 25 hours must be taken from African core courses. Courses must be selected from no fewer than three disciplines. A minimum of three courses must be taken in the principal discipline, and a minimum of two courses in each of two minor disciplines. A minimum of two courses must be taken in seminar work. Ordinarily, principal disciplines are selected from the social sciences or humanities (e.g., anthropology, art history, communications, economics, education, geography, history, journalism, literature, linguistics, nutrition, philosophy, and political science). Art history, philosophy, and literature also may be combined for an African humanities emphasis.
A comprehensive written examination is required. The examination is given once a quarter, except in summer, and should be taken near the completion of your program.
Admission is in fall quarter only.
