Its nature, that of a university with such seminaries of learning as shall make it of the highest grade, including mechanical institutes, museums, galleries of art, laboratories, and conservatories, together with all things necessary for the study of agriculture in all its branches, and for mechanical training, and the studies and exercises directed to the cultivation and enlargement of the mind:
Its object, to qualify its students for personal success, and direct usefulness in life;
And its purposes, to promote the public welfare by exercising an influence in behalf of humanity and civilization, teaching the blessings of liberty regulated by law, and inculcating love and reverence for the great principles of government as derived from the inalienable rights of man to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. |

Master's degree
African Studies
|
|
|
The African Studies M.A. program will provide all students with a fundamental grounding in African Studies through exposure to the major areas of research and knowledge on Africa as taught at Stanford through the core and cognate curriculum. The introductory core courses will serve as a basis for guiding students into major intellectual issues in the study of Africa; the concentration field builds depth in topical areas; and the cognate requirement exposed students to the broader debates in comparative area studies along thematic lines. At the same time, the core M.A. course and the culminating seminar builds a cohort community, engages students in the latest research occurring at Stanford and elsewhere, and gives them opportunities to interact with faculty, scholars and practitioners in their fields of interest. The language requirement guarantees that they all have the requisite language skills to work in the region. Through our highly linked curriculum -- Core, Cognate, and Concentration fields-- we require students to acquire both regional and topical expertise.
