Program Description

Africana studies is the study of Africans and African-descended peoples. It offers a multidisciplinary approach to investigate, educate, promote, and value the contributions and experiences of Africans and African-descended peoples worldwide.

Students learn about the national global roles, cultural contributions, and experiences of Africans and people of African descent; oral traditions, literature, art, and aesthetics; expressions and conceptualizations of spiritualism within the African purview; and the social, political, and economic history of Blacks and the evolution of Black nationalism.
