The Minor and Certificate in African Studies are identical
programs. The Minor is recommended for students
undertaking completion of a Bachelor’s degree. The
Certificate is recommended for students who have already
completed a Bachelor’s degree.
The program is intended to improve students’ understanding
of modern Africa. As a significant part of the world
community, Africa merits focused and sustained study.
This program provides a cohesive, directed effort to
develop students’ knowledge and appreciation for Africa’s
peoples, geography, institutions, arts, customs, languages,
traditions, resources, politics, and social structures. The
program is designed and structured in a way that will be
useful to the student, both professionally and academically.
The Minor is of particular relevance for students interested
in acquiring an integrated perception and understanding
of Africa. The program provides different options: a
specific emphasis in international relations; interests in a
particular aspect of African life such as art, history, or
society; or general intellectual curiosity.
The CSU International Programs provide opportunities
for students at Sacramento State to study and live in
Africa, and constitute a valuable adjunct to African Studies
on the campus. Students are strongly urged to take at least
one year of a language used in Africa other than English.
Course selection for each student is worked out with an
advisor from the African Studies faculty in conjunction
with the Director of Pan African Studies.
