  The Africana Studies Minor

@ Barnard College

 

 

Although the college requires students to declare the minor formally after they have completed course work for the minor, the Africana Studies program strongly encourages students to meet with the Africana Studies Director (or the minor advisor) to plan a course of study and fill out an “intent to minor” form.

 

The Africana minor consists of six courses to be distributed as follows:[1]

 

     1. AFRS BC 3004x Introduction to African Studies

 

     2. AFRS BC 3006y Introduction to the African Diaspora

 

     3. One course on Harlem to be chosen from electives offered at Barnard / Columbia

          Examples: Home to Harlem; Harlem Crossroads; Harlem Heritage (CU)

 

     4-6. Three electives chosen by the students in consultation with the Director /minor advisor. Note: One of these electives must be a colloquium  in Africana Studies or an acceptable seminar substitute to be determined by the Africana Director or minor advisor.

    Example of an acceptable substitution: 

               WMST BC 3121 Black Women in America

 

 

 

A sample "Intent to Declare the Africana Minor" page can be found here.

 

 

Our description of the major can be found here.
