Overview

Africana Studies encompasses centuries of history and culture, from the first African and European American relationships to modern day diaspora studies. Students are intellectually curious and socially aware. They focus on issues of race, gender and class and leave ready to use their knowledge to improve their communities. They will be challenged to think critically, analyze complex data, and master research technology, a firm foundation for successful careers or future graduate study. The intellectual domain of Africana Studies (AST) consists of four major areas that will be examined further by focusing upon specializations in the humanities (e.g., literature, film, journalism), social sciences (e.g., research, public policy, health care), physical sciences (e.g., environmental studies), interdisciplinary studies (e.g., women’s and gender studies, management, education) or in professional programs (nursing, teacher preparation, social work). An AST major or minor is appropriate for students with strong interests in studies of Americans of color; in the intersectional study of race, gender, and class in the humanities or social sciences; or in one or more subject areas indicated above. The department prepares students for the labor market and continued professional and graduate training by providing a solid foundation of critical, analytical, and technological skills. Pre-graduation internships are available for all interested students. Study abroad and modern language skills are highly recommended. Students interested in dual degree programs or self-designed majors should consult with program faculty to design an individualized program.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
