Academic Program

The certificate in Africana Studies is a joint program of the Intercollegiate Department of Africana Studies (IDAS) of The Claremont Colleges and Claremont Graduate University. Any CGU student enrolled in a MA or PhD program may concurrently pursue a Certificate in Africana Studies. The certificate requires a minimum of five, 4-unit courses, including a core course titled “Concepts and Methods in Africana Studies.” The courses must be approved by the Graduate Certificate Review Committee (GCRC).

The approved course sequence requires coherence and demonstration of substantive breadth, and relevance to Africana Studies. All five of the courses may count as credit for the MA or PhD.  For the certificate to be awarded, a student must attain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the courses taken for the certificate.
