The Program in Africana Studies (AAS) provides opportunities for students to learn about the experiences of people of African descent.

The Africana Studies Program at the College of Arts & Sciences provides rigorous
interdisciplinary training about the experiences of Africans and African-descended
peoples in the Americas, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. Mastery of the
discipline of Africana Studies is important to students who will be functioning in a
diversified, multicultural, multiethnic society. The goal of the

program is to:
• Research, acquire, and disseminate information about the historical and social
experiences of Africans and people of African descent on all sides of the Atlantic
basin.
• Advocate excitement and excellence in the study of African-descended peoples and
thus foster multicultural and multiethnic understanding of society in a complex and
globalized world.
• Promote critical interdisciplinary inquiry into the origins and transplantation of
people of African descent across the world.
• Bring to students cutting-edge research findings that continue to shape the field of
Africana Studies.
• Teach students to think critically about the global black experience.
