A major in Africana studies consists of 11 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 11
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 relevant to
their work in Africana Studies. 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.
