Lawrence, KS - On January 15, 2009, the Kansas Board of Regents approved
the establishment of a M. A. degree program in African &
African-American Studies at the University of Kansas.  The Program will
begin in the Fall of 2009 and the University is currently accepting
applications.

Founded in 1970, the Department of African and African-American Studies
seeks to educate students to function in a multicultural environment and
in a global community. The objective of the M.A. program in African and
African-American Studies at the University of Kansas is to produce
scholars, teachers, administrators, and other professionals who have the
intellectual and scholarly capacity and skills to make on-going
contributions to the world in which they live.

The African and African-American Studies M. A. program is designed to
take two years of full time study. A total of nine upper-division and
graduate courses, in addition to a thesis or additional course work for
a non-thesis option, are required for the degree -- 33 credit hours.
There are four core courses, Introduction to Africana Studies I:
African-American; Introduction to Africana Studies II: African; Research
Methods in Africana Studies; and Seminar in Africana Studies. The
students are then expected to choose five courses, fifteen credit hours,
within their area of specialization. Students are able to take six
credit hours outside of the Department in related course offerings
including, among others: American Studies, Anthropology,
Art, Communications, Economics, Education, English, Geography, History,
Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, Theater & Film, and
Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies.
