African Studies Minor 

Co-coordinators: Michelle Johnson, Geoffrey Schneider

The interdepartmental African studies minor gives an understanding of Africa’s rich heritage, diversity and role in the world today, and contributes an international focus to a liberal arts education. It consists of five courses chosen from the list below. Students must take at least three core courses, and they may choose any two other courses from the list below. If possible, at least one course should be related to the student’s major. In consultation with the coordinator(s) of the minor, students may include an Africa-related course from the African American or Caribbean studies list. In general, there are no prerequisites for the courses on the African studies minor list.

Courses taken in summer or year-long programs in Africa will count towards the minor.
