Our contemporary world requires people to be global citizens. Regardless of your personal, professional and career goals, you will need to possess an understanding of the people, places and cultures within and beyond the United States. And more importantly, you will need to possess the ability to act positively and productively on this diverse world. 

The Interdisciplinary Studies degree concentration in Africana Studies will teach you about the black experience in the Americas, Africa, and the many other places in the world where people of African descent reside. You will learn how to understand these issues from cross-cultural, international, transnational and multidisciplinary perspectives. You will examine how the intersection of race, gender, and class has affected human history and also provides a framework for your own personal and professional growth. In short, an interdisciplinary studies degree concentration in Africana Studies will teach you how to both THINK and DO in our ever-changing and increasingly diverse global society.
