Minor

The minor in African, African American, Diaspora Studies consists of five or more courses chosen from the groups listed below. One course must be at or above the 300 level. Courses listed for the minor may be augmented periodically by special courses or seminars on topics applicable to the minor. Please consult the schedule of courses offered each academic year under the numbers 298 and 398. Students considering study abroad programs should consult both the Africana studies program coordinator and advising staff in the Center for Global Education for program information and credit transfer. African, African American, Diaspora Studies minors, particularly those planning on study, research and internships overseas, are strongly encouraged to pursue a language concentration that will complement their studies. Some study abroad programs provide on-site language training, but others (for example, programs in Latin America, Francophone Africa and the Caribbean) may require intermediate fluency in the national language. Introductory and intermediate courses in a number of African languages are also available through a link with Brown and Boston universities.
