Program Description Africa is the most culturally and geographically diverse continent on earth. The African Studies program offers students an opportunity to study the histories, cultures, languages, geographies, politics and economics of this fascinating continent. Students will also learn about the aid, trade and investment, and migration flows that link Africa to the rest of the world in the era of globalization. Students in the Combined Honours program can benefit from a work placement opportunity, a mentorship program and the chance to study in Africa through the African Studies Abroad course or by doing their third year at one of the African universities with which Carleton has exchange agreements.
