About the African Studies Program

The African Studies Program coordinates teaching and research on Africa at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Formally established in 1961 and one of the earliest such programs in the country, it has trained a total of 700 Africa specialists at the Ph.D. level over the years.  Tens of thousands of Wisconsin undergraduates have taken Africa courses in more than 30 departments. The African Studies Program also sponsors a variety of activities for faculty members, students, and the public, including lecture series, symposia, fellowships, and outreach events, and services to strengthen Africa knowledge outside of the University.
