African and African American Studies

We provide a cross cultural and comparative framework for systematically studying the traditions and experiences of Africans in the New and Old worlds. Students in this program are encouraged to develop their analytic, research and literary skills through a critical study of patterns of Western and African civilizations in their interwoven complexity. In addition to the courses offered by the program itself, there are many additional courses taught at Carleton have a bearing on African/African American studies.

Field of study: African Studies, American/United States Studies/Civilization
