MA in Global African Studies Overview
GSU Master’s programs are designed to engage the most important, pressing questions in the study of global Africa today, across the breadth and depth of the humanities and social sciences. Recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary methodologies, GSU MA curriculum is clustered around three tracks:
- Museum and Critical Heritage Studies

As an interdisciplinary graduate program, the courses explore major cross-cutting thematic fields, including intellectual thought, the Indian Ocean world, the Muslim world, gender studies, feminist futures, and diaspora. Additionally, all MA students are expected to enroll in three semesters of coursework in a chosen African language, earning a certificate upon completion.
