Africana Studies Undergraduate Certificate
The Africana Studies certificate will be a 15 credit BA-level certificate in Africana Studies. Africana Studies explores African and African American history, life, and culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. Both TT and NTT faculty will offer courses in the program. The Africana Studies certificate aims to complement existing majors at MSU-Bozeman. Students will develop the knowledge and intellectual skills to understand and appreciate the experiences of African and African Diasporic populations, to move beyond their own experiences to appreciate how they are connected to the larger global village, and to develop tools for working with others in empathetic and humane ways.
