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.
