This Bachelor of Arts program focuses on Africa, the African Diaspora, and Black studies. Through rigorous academic exploration, it offers a solid intellectual foundation to help you contextualize and interact with Africa's global presence by gaining comprehensive knowledge of historical and contemporary issues concerning the continent. You'll also have the chance to examine modern themes such as migration, colonialism, economic shifts, climate change, and popular culture through your own perspective. The BA in Africa and Black Diaspora equips students to navigate central debates in the study of Africa and its diverse diasporic communities. What sets this program apart is its interdisciplinary and cross-regional methodology, which explores diasporic connections across Africa, the Black Atlantic, Black Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
You can integrate your studies in disciplines like Politics, Social Anthropology, Languages and Cultures, Economics, and International Relations with Africa and Black Diaspora coursework. The program provides opportunities for impactful projects, regional exploration through optional summer or year-abroad programs, and prepares you to graduate as a capable, socially conscious global leader.
