The Center for African Studies
(CAS), established in 1997, coordinates many exciting initiatives related to
Africa around the university. It offers a minor and graduate certificate in African Studies. CAS
also promotes the study of African languages, and the Model African Union,
a participatory course that culminates in a national student summit in
Washington, D.C.
Another primary role of CAS is to foster a greater public
understanding of Africa, particularly among K-12 teachers. The Graduate School
of Education's Office of Continuing Education and Global Programs
maintains a resource center with curricula and programs linking Africa to the
United States for educators, and makes specialists available to assist teachers covering
Africa in world history, social studies, special education, math, and the arts.
