- acquire an understanding of Black art, literature, music and performance.
- be able to identify the role of key thinkers, movements, and ideas relevant to the experience of African people.
- have the capacity to critically analyze the internal and external factors affecting the development of peoples throughout the African Diaspora.
- develop the skills necessary to act positively and productively in our increasingly diverse world.
People with a background in Africana Studies go on to be successful in a myriad of professional areas, such as law,Ìýscience and technology, government and politics, and the corporate world, or to earn advanced degrees in numerous fields.
