The Program in African Studies focuses on Africa south of the Sahara and African relations with the rest of the world. It emphasizes analytical skills, concepts, and frameworks for understanding continuity and change in African societies. In the undergraduate certificate program, a student concentrates his or her studies in an academic department but pursues interdisciplinary and comparative work in other departments in their chosen subfield in African Studies. Similarly, African studies at the Ph.D. level are pursued as an integral part of an individual’s course of study in a regular academic department.

Director: Daniel I. Rubenstein
