The African Studies Program is located in Woodburn Hall on the Indiana University, Bloomington campus. The Program has long been recognized as one of the leading centers for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. It has been a U.S. Department of Education National Resource Center every year since 1965.

We are committed to being one of the nation's leading programs for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. Our diverse research, teaching, and outreach activities promote greater understanding and appreciation of the continent and its people. We also promote the study of Africa in global perspective by building bridges with other area-studies programs, international centers, professional schools, and departments inside and outside Indiana University. All of our activities are conducted in accord with our values stressing integrity, excellence, diversity, community, collaboration, and creativity.
