The Undergraduate Certificate in African Studies
The African Studies certificate program is comparable to a minor, in that it requires about the same number of credit hours to earn the certificate as it does to graduate with a minor. However, the certificate offers the advantage of being interdisciplinary, allowing you to study Africa from a variety of perspectives.
