Africana Studies (BA)
Students interested in the African diaspora, including the African American experience, studying the continent of Africa, or Africana people around the globe are welcome in Africana Studies. Our students come from across the university and often pair our major or minor with other courses of study.
The department is known for its award-winning faculty, outstanding mentorship, interesting courses, innovative pedagogy, and opportunities for undergraduate research. We work with each of our students to create a unique and personal course of study within the parameters of the discipline.
