The Center for African Studies (CAS) is an interdisciplinary program that supports Stanford students and faculty as they explore the peoples and cultures of Africa.

CAS offers an undergraduate minor, and master's and co-terminal degrees in African Studies. CAS courses are offered by departments and programs throughout the University, and each year the Center runs an exciting seminar, "Dynamics of Change in Africa," for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
