Dear Graduate Student:

The Institute for African American Studies proposes a graduate certificate in African American Studies that will require 15 semester hours, including an introductory course in African American Studies. The primary purpose of the certificate program is to establish an interdisciplinary academic program that prepares students for future academic or professional work related to the African American or African diasporic experience. This interdisciplinary program will draw from many scholarly traditions in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and across the university. We are asking graduate students (in any program or discipline) to respond to the following survey in order to determine the level of interest in establishing such a certificate. All responses are strictly anonymous. The survey is quite brief, and your input would be most appreciated. Please follow this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MT27YWX

Please contact Dr. Freda Scott Giles at fsgiles@uga.edu<mailto:fsgiles@uga.edu> with any questions about this survey.

Many thanks, Freda Scott Giles Interim director, Institute for African American Studies
