African Studies

About

This interdisciplinary minor connects studies of all African regions (North, West, Central, East, South)–their languages, their cultures, and their peoples, both concurrently in their national and international relationships as well as longitudinally over the course of history.

The African Studies minor is offered jointly by the Schools of Economics; Literature, Media, and Communication; Modern Languages; Public Policy and the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs.

Through the interdisciplinary study of economics, politics (domestic and international), public policy, literature, media, languages and area studies of these regions and populations, students engage in comparative study of societies, values, and local/global issues.

This minor is designed for undergraduates who will enter a wide range of careers that can lead directly or indirectly to interactions with the people, the social organizations and businesses, and governments of Africa, both abroad and in the U.S.

Students wishing to pursue this minor should declare the minor by filling out the minor change form with the Student Advisor in Modern Languages.

How to Apply

Creating a Common App account is easy and should only take a few minutes.

You can create a Common App account even if you don’t plan on applying for another few months or another few years. You can answer questions in the Common App tab and build a college list at any time.

Create your account and choose your student type
- If you haven’t yet attended college, select “first-year student”
- If you have college credits from dual enrollment high school courses, you should still select “first-year student”
- If you have already attended 1 or more colleges after graduating high school, select “transfer student”. We also have a separate transfer student guide to help you out.
Create new login credentials. Colleges may need to get in touch with you during the application process, so be mindful of which email address you choose. Sometimes your high school address may filter out these emails, so consider using a personal email address. When choosing an email address, be sure to use one that:
- You check regularly
- Does not use inappropriate language
- You will have access to after you graduate from high school
Complete your registration information
- We will need some basic information about you like your name, home address, phone number, and date of birth.
- Be sure to use your legal name as it appears on official school documents and standardized tests. This will make sure colleges can match documents to the correct person.
- At the end, you will adjust your communication preferences and accept the Common App privacy policy.
Select "create account" and you’re done!
