Requirements for the Certificate in African Studies 
Participants in the certificate program complete a minimum of five (5) Africa-focused courses. Students can pursue a humanities track, a development studies track, a social science track, a languages track, or an agreed-upon combination track. All students are required to take the African Studies Seminar (AFST 701). 
 Those pursuing the development track take Special Topics in Demography: Change and Continuity in the Fertility and Mortality of Sub-Saharan Africa (DEMG 777), and then choose three (3) more development-related African studies courses (see list below). The following list of courses count toward the course requirement for the African Studies certificate in the corresponding tracks. African language courses including the African Language Tutorial (LING 490) count toward certificates in any of the tracks. NOTE: Any graduate course with an Africa focus will be considered for inclusion in a certificate program, however the final determination will be made by a student's faculty advisor. 

Students interested in the certificate program should contact: 1) African Studies Program Coordinator Faye Patterson, 645 Williams Hall/6305 (Telephone: 898-3883), who will register them in the program, and 2) Professor Lee Cassanelli (898-3921 or 898-8443) who will assign them a faculty advisor.
