The Interdisciplinary Studies of Africa minor is designed to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the study of African history, politics, geography, literature, visual and performing arts, and culture. It provides a background for the advanced study of Africa, and for careers in international development, international law, international business, humanitarianism, journalism, museum curation, health, education, social media management, among other pathways. Students may take courses in several departments which satisfy the minor requirements or may use these courses as electives in their majors.
All students interested in the minor are invited to see a member of the Program Committee or the Coordinator of the minor, Dr. Suzanne Scheld (Suzanne.scheld@csun.edu) to work out a program that will meet their own specific needs and interests.
