Kingfisher Concentration - African Studies requirements (9 credits)
Program Director: Amy Wendling, Associate Dean, College of Arts & Sciences
African Studies is an interdisciplinary program drawing from faculty in the departments of History, English, Psychology, Cultural and Social Studies, Political Science, and Theology. It provides students with factual and theoretical material necessary to understand the multifaceted challenges facing contemporary Africa. Courses approach Africa from humanistic, ethnographic, historical, and policy-oriented perspectives. The program also sponsors films, social events, and visiting lectures to shed further light on Africa and the African diaspora in the 21st century.
This Kingfisher Concentration has an associated minor that allows for continued study of these topics: African Studies Minor
