Advisement for the minor is available from the English Department.
The African area studies minor is an interdisciplinary area studies program with a study abroad requirement, as well as the opportunity to complete most of the minor via a semester abroad program at a foreign SU partner institution.
Requirements of the minor are the following:
- Complete a minimum of 5 of the following courses.
- At least 1 course for the minor must be completed while studying in an African country.
- No more than 9 transfer credits may count toward the minor. (Note: Students may count 4 courses/16 credits completed via the semester-long Salisbury Abroad: Africa program toward the minor, as these are not transfer credits, but SU courses executed abroad via SU’s partner institution in Ghana, Africa.)
- Earn grades of C or better in all courses taken for the minor.
- No more than one course in the minor may be used to satisfy General Education requirements.
Checklist
This checklist is an unofficial tool for planning. Matriculated students and advisors should consult the Academic Requirements Report in GullNet before and after registering for classes each semester to track academic progress.
