Graduate Certificate in Africana Studies

The purpose of the Africana Studies Program is to engender in Lehigh students an intellectual appreciation of the life and culture of peoples of sub-Saharan Africa and the worldwide diaspora, especially in the Americas (the United States and Canada, the Caribbean, Central and South America), thereby enriching the Lehigh curriculum and increasing its relevance to a culturally diverse society and world. In the best tradition of a liberal arts education, Africana Studies expands Lehigh students’ critical understanding of their own heritage in interaction with other cultures.

The major and minor in Africana Studies constitute an interdepartmental and comparative program of study for undergraduates who wish to integrate the insights and methods of several disciplines to understand the history, culture, social, and political experience of people of African descent globally.

With the breadth and depth of the curriculum, the Africana Studies Program prepares students for a diverse range of careers. Alumni of the Africana Studies Program have advanced to careers in the arts, law, politics, and academia, among others, and with foci on immigration, mass incarceration, and activism. We encourage majors and minors to speak with the program director and/or their advisors to learn more about the applicability of Africana Studies to a wide range of careers.
