Fall 2013 Registration Information
for Students Majoring or Minoring in African and Afro-American Studies.
As part of the curricular revisions and modifications, the Department of African and Afro-American Studies is changing its name, establishing new requirements for the major and minor, and implementing a new course numbering system. Effective fall 2013, we will be the Department of African, African American, and Diaspora Studies, and the courses which used to have the subject of either AFRI or AFAM will now have the single code of AAAD. Many courses have been renumbered, but there are some new courses, too, and some old courses have been retired. The new requirements for the major and minor will be published in the Undergraduate Bulletin/ 2013-2014 Record.
But if you were enrolled in Carolina prior to fall 2013, you are still able to complete the major or minor requirements that were in effect at the time you entered. Here are the old requirements and the new courses you can take to meet them.
