Africana Studies is a truly interdisciplinary and global program. Students engage the field’s interdisciplinary nature through coursework in various units across Northeastern’s campus or by combining Africana Studies with another subject. Students in the program can choose to focus their studies across the global African Diaspora, including within the United States, the Caribbean, and/or Europe. Graduates with Africana Studies degrees have become doctors, lawyers, entertainers, politicians, public health professionals, diplomats, professors, astronauts, journalists, engineers, artists, poets, executives, entrepreneurs, and more.
