The requirements for the major in Africana studies are consistent with our view of the field as a multidisciplinary and area studies program. Major prerequisites are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the African diasporan experience, as well as a firm grounding in a single field of study.
Both breadth and depth in the field are to be obtained by majors. In consultation with their major advisor, students are expected to develop a balanced program of study and to supplement their work with courses in fields related to their special needs and interests.
