International Studies - Africa Concentration

Africa has a rich pre-colonial history, and became fully connected to the modern industrialized world during European colonialism, even though this left behind a controversial legacy of under-development. Africa today is a continent with abundant resources and potential, as well as many enduring challenges. Students in this concentration will take steps toward understanding Africa–home to 2,100 native languages and one billion people–in its full complexity.
