The Agreement on Strengthening Links between Boston University African Studies Center and Harvard University Committee on African Studies

The purpose of this agreement is to increase the course offerings in African studies available to graduate students at Boston University and Harvard University (in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences) through limited student exchange.

Eligibility:

Graduate students specializing in African studies at either institution are eligible to take advantage of this program.

Scope:

Under the terms of this agreement eligible graduate students at either institution may request permission to take graduate level courses, with at least 50% Africa content. at the other institution, providing that the course is not available at their own institution.

Procedure:

Graduate students who wish to take advantage of this agreement must obtain:

the written permission of the instructor offering the course;

the written approval of an Africanist faculty member at their own institution with whom they will register for a Directed Study course;

the written approval of a coordinator appointed by the Director of Chairman of the Africa program at their institution.

The student will then complete all requirements for the course. After all work is completed, the instructor will write a letter of evaluation including a letter grade to the faculty member with whom the student has registered for a Directed Study.

This arrangement involves neither official cross-registration nor the payment of fees between the cooperating institutions..
