Students are encouraged but not required to study abroad in one of the many countries that make up Africa or the African diaspora, study an African language, or intern with an organization whose mission is to support people of African descent.
As an interdisciplinary program, African and African Diaspora Studies draws faculty from multiple disciplines across the campus. Each faculty member's information can be found at the respective department that offers each of the courses.
Any students with questions, please contact the Chair of Interdisciplinary Studies, Dr. Aldo Garcia Guevara at aguevara@worcester.edu.
