Undergraduate Certificate in African and African Diasporic Languages

The Certificate in African and African Diasporic Languages is offered through the Department of African & African-American Studies. The Certificate Program enables students to formally claim expertise in one of our languages, ArabicHaitian-CreoleKiswahili and Wolof, after completion of the elementary and intermediate level course sequences. It is an excellent pathway for non-degree seeking students, particularly online, to get certification of language training. It is also a wonderful cultural studies companion to all of the professional degrees on campus, as well as other College programs. Additionally, completion of the certificate is a stepping stone for those who seek to complete our African and African Diasporic Languages minor, with more advanced study of the languages offered within the department.
