The Africana Studies Program is designed to provide Agnes Scott College students with the opportunity to engage in the study of peoples of African descent around the world in both historical and contemporary contexts.
History, culture and contemporary issues pertaining to people of African descent are the focus of Africana Studies. The core courses, offered in the departments of history, English, politics, philosophy, sociology and anthropology, and religious studies, deal variously with Africa, African Americans and the African Diaspora. Related courses are offered in psychology, music, modern foreign languages and literatures.
