The program encompasses two majors -- Africana studies and Latin American studies -- and four topical minors: African studies, African American studies, Latin American studies and Caribbean studies.
Africana studies is an interdisciplinary program that studies the history and culture of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora.
The Latin American studies program offers students the opportunity to undertake the comparative study of Latin American society and culture, drawing from such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, literature and literary criticism, and political science.
Both programs provide a suitable background for engaging in graduate studies or professional work in a variety of fields including government service, journalism, international development, and teaching.
