<p>Does anyone know how strong African Studies is at UChicago? Like are there specific professors for it? Is it a really active department? Is it regarded highly by both students and world wide? </p>
<p>If anyone could help me out that'd be great. Thanks ahead of time.</p>
<p>just a recent tidbit:
<a href="http://www-news.uchicago.edu/releases/05/050405.dawson.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://www-news.uchicago.edu/releases/05/050405.dawson.shtml</a>
there are other links to the story from more "objective" sources--you might want to check out the dept. website and read some literature from the faculty that interest you.</p>
<p>Looks like African studies is a graduate program (as opposed to African-American studies), but my guess is one could take the courses recommended: <a href="http://catalogs.uchicago.edu/divisions/african.html%5B/url%5D">http://catalogs.uchicago.edu/divisions/african.html</a></p>
