Program Details

Africa is the most culturally and geographically diverse continent on earth. The African Studies program offers you a unique opportunity to study the histories, cultures, languages, geographies, politics and economics of this fascinating continent. You will also learn about aid, trade and investment, and migration flows that link Africa to the rest of the world both in the past and contemporary eras of globalization.

Carleton’s African Studies program gives students an unmatched opportunity to encounter Africa from all possible angles and demonstrates that research in Africa flows across borders and touches on issues across the globe. The program affords students the space to take courses in interdisciplinary fields including African history, politics, literatures, cinema, legal systems and economics. The program is not only continental in scope but regional in approach to ensure that the courses are content specific and grounded in the knowledge system, history and experiences of the people in the  areas being studied.

Work Experience
