Africana Studies Major (BA)
The Africana studies major brings together the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. You’ll explore issues of race and study the lives of people from Africa and the African diaspora. The goal: to inspire awareness and critical inquiry around the ideas of identity, difference, and representation.

- Work in the local community as part of your capstone project — thanks to the Center for Community Development and Social Justice (CCDSJ).
- Complete an internship, or study abroad in Uganda or South Africa!
- Look at the world from all angles: Africana studies combines courses in history and political science with literature, music, and psychology.
