Our department will introduce you to African and African-American history, culture and life in general. Although Africa and Afro-America are the major areas of study, due attention is paid to the Caribbean and Latin America. 
The interdisciplinary major, with its opportunity for fieldwork in Africa or in the African Diaspora, also encourages students to engage in independent study to maximize their academic and research potential.
In addition to academic interests, our program will prove useful for professionals whose careers take them to these geographic and cultural areas.
Although we do not currently offer advanced degrees (an M.A. degree has been approved by the College), courses are available to persons working toward an interdisciplinary M.A., Ph.D or other advanced degrees from varied programs.
