African Studies

Note: For purposes of meeting program requirements, all foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major or minor.

For more information, including a list and descriptions of African studies courses, students should pick up a supplemental calendar from the program office, 217 Founders College. All African studies majors should arrange their program of study in consultation with the program coordinator and an adviser in their co-major department/division. Students who do not wish to formally register in the program, but who are interested in Africa, are also encouraged to consult with the program coordinator.

Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Program

The African Studies Program is an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. African studies majors must take a second major (co-major) in another department/discipline in the Faculty of Arts. Students must take at least 36 credits in the African Studies Program and at least 36 credits in the co-major according to the requirements and regulations specified by each department/discipline for an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. Courses taken to meet African studies requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the departmental/divisional major. Students in these interdisciplinary programs must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least six credits in African studies and six credits in the departmental/divisional major. For further details of requirements, see the listings for specific Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA programs.

The 36 credits in African studies must include the following:

  • AS/SOSC 2480 9.0;
  • 24 credits chosen from African Studies Program courses;
  • six credits in African studies at the 4000 level.

  • AS/SOSC 2480 9.0;
  • 18 credits chosen from African Studies Program courses;
  • AS/SOSC 4510 6.0.
