Minor In African
Studies
Minor Contents Description:
Students earning the minor must complete 18
hours of course work with at least 9 hours of upper division
course work.
A minor in African Studies will consist of at
least 12 hours of course work from the list of courses endorsed
by the African Studies Institute.
A minor in African Studies will not consist
of more than 6 hours of African related independent study or
course work that is not on the list of courses endorsed by the
African Studies Institute. Such course work must be petitioned
and approved by the Director of the Institute.
All students in the minor program must register
for and pass the required courses: AFST 2100 (Introduction to
Africa) and AFST/INTL 4350 (African Political Systems).
At least three courses (or 9 hours) must be
taken in residence.
It is not compulsory to study abroad to earn
hours for the minor, but hours acquired in study abroad programs
in Africa can be counted towards the minor.
Courses taken to earn the Certificate in African
Studies cannot be used towards the minor.
All courses used to satisfy the minor must be
passed with a grade “C” or better.
“A student may select a minor in consultation
with his or her advisor. The student may then consult an advisor
in the minor field who can inform the student of remaining requirements
for the minor. When the student has met the requirements for
the minor, the advisor in the minor field will then certify
that fact to the student's dean. The completed minor will be
recorded on the student's permanent transcript, but not on the
diploma. A student must be enrolled at the time a minor is approved
by the Board of Regents, or subsequent to that date, to receive
credit for the minor. A student may have more than one minor.”— University
