A major in Africana studies consists of eleven term courses offered
by the department of at least 3 credits each; students must earn a
grade of C or better in all courses counted toward the major.
These eleven courses comprise four compulsory core courses and seven
elective courses and must include two term courses in one foreign
language taught by the Department of Africana Studies. Declared majors
may petition the department to substitute another language in which the
student is competent. Upon petition, students may substitute the two
terms of a foreign language with two departmental electives, one of
which must be at the 300 or 400 level. At least six of the courses
counted toward the major must be at the 300 or 400 level. Students are
encouraged to take courses in other disciplines that relate to their
area of concentration or interest, and with departmental approval, may
apply up to two of these courses toward the major.

01:014:103 Introduction to Africana Studies (3)
01:014:203 or 204 The Black Experience in America (3)
