School Location
The field of Africana Studies offers a program leading to the degree of Master of Professional Studies (African African-American Studies) . The curriculum reflects a multidisciplinary and comparative approach to the experience of African peoples throughout the world. Our program of study is particularly well-suited to those students who plan to pursue a life-long scholarly interest in Black Studies as a teacher, professor, researcher, or creative artist. Recent graduates have entered doctoral programs at Yale University , UCLA , Indiana University , and Comell University . Other graduates are teaching at the high school or junior college level. A few have obtained administrative positions in industry, government and various community action organizations.

Besides servicing students at the Center, the program can also be the focus of a minor for graduate students who are working toward a doctorate in other fields. For example, a doctoral student in government may minor in Africana Studies.

Applicants for the master's degree program are expected to have some undergraduate preparation in African or African-American studies. Degree candidates take a major concentration in either African or African-American studies, and a minor concentration in one of the areas not selected for the major. The minor may also be taken in a field of graduate study outside the Center (e.g., government, history, economics).
