African, African American, and Diaspora Studies

专业介绍

The curriculum of the Department of African, African American, and Diaspora Studies emphasizes the histories, cultures, cultural linkages, and contemporary sociopolitical and economic realities of Africa and the African diaspora in the context of a globalizing world. The major offers a concentration in African studies and a concentration in African American and diaspora studies.

The skills and perspectives of African, African American, and Diaspora studies provide an excellent background for students considering careers in international development, education, business, government, or diplomacy. Students go on to a variety of managerial, teaching, and research positions. Other careers for which the major is excellent preparation include law, communication, social work, community development, and public administration.

We encourage students to talk with the Director of Undergraduate Studies when they declare the major in African, African American, and Diaspora studies.
