Student Resources

Our program examines the histories, cultures, and political and social experiences of African and African-descended peoples worldwide.

Through an African-centered lens, students engage with literature, social issues, political crises, and philosophical questions, gaining skills to think critically, analyze complex situations, and apply lessons from the past to today’s world. The program prepares students for careers in business, government, education, media, public health, law, and the arts, as well as for graduate study across the social sciences and humanities.
