Minor Requirements

The Africana Studies minor is designed to complement a student’s disciplinary major through an interdisciplinary specialization on the contexts and experiences of Africans and their many diasporas.

Fostering interdisciplinary critical thinking, the Africana Studies minor prepares students for lifetime engagement in scholarship as well as in fields such as law, public policy, education, public health, social work, and the arts. Toward this end, and in addition to coursework, students are encouraged to take advantage of the rich array of speakers, exhibits, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities related to Africans and their diasporas.

Learn more about the requirements, or keep track of your progress (and get your plan approved) via the AFST minor-tracking form. To declare a minor, fill out this form between the second week of your 6th term and the second week of your 10th term at Carleton.
