This program enables students to gain comprehensive knowledge in the multidisciplinary domain of Africana Studies. Africana Studies examines the experiences, intellectual traditions, and creative expressions of individuals with African heritage across the globe, encompassing their historical narratives, linguistic traditions, literary and artistic works, cultural practices, and socio-political circumstances as they appear in the Americas, Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and all regions where African diaspora communities exist. The Graduate Certificate in Africana Studies allows master's or doctoral candidates to pursue an interdisciplinary specialization in Africana Studies while completing their primary degree program. Beyond acquiring specialized knowledge about African-descended populations and their unique concerns, certificate seekers will develop valuable interdisciplinary skills characteristic of Africana Studies. The curriculum introduces students to diverse scholarly approaches, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks from various academic disciplines that collectively enhance understanding of the African diaspora experience.
