As the oldest and the most diverse continent in the world, Africa provides one of the best venues for the study of the human and nature relationships especially with the impact of issues such as urbanization, deforestation, soil erosion, climate change, and wildlife conservation. The diversity of the continent is highlighted in every aspect of life: the people, the languages, the vegetation, the political traditions, the economic practices, the belief systems, and world views. The Minor in African Studies will provide students an understanding of this unique and diverse continent. This will not only heighten students’ sensitivity to the changing nature of the world, but it will also improve comprehension of globalization and interrelationships of all human history and culture. A Minor in African Studies, through its curriculum, will enhance students’ abilities, options, and opportunities as they enter the global market place.
