Overview

Key facts

The African and Middle Eastern Studies programme from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) offers African area courses in a wide range of disciplines, including the fine arts, social sciences, humanities, and professional fields. A concurrent degree program is also offered where students can work for the MA in African Studies and the Master of Public Health (MPH) at the same time.

Academic flexibility draws many students to the program. Because there are more than 50 active faculty members on campus with African interest and experience in many disciplines, students have multiple options to design individualized programs suited to their specific interests.
Information on the undergraduate major and minor in African and Middle Eastern Studies and the minor in African Studies can be found in the International and Area Studies section.
