Students will critically examine the cultural, political, economic, and historical factors that have created and shaped the African, African American, and African Diasporic experiences.
The Program's in-depth training in the field of Africana Studies will prepare students for the challenges of the globally interconnected world of the 21st century. The Program will position students for careers in the academy and professions, enabling them to make ground-breaking contributions to national and global discourse and problem solving.
