I always wanted to participate in study abroad. I would get the booklets and only dream of going because I know that I may never get that experience. Even more so because I live off campus and would have to worry about rent, and I work, so I'm not sure if my job would approve. I also, don't meet the requirements (which I never agreed with). A persons GPA doesn't mean he/she will not excel if given the chance!!!
it would be a great asset for kentucky state university to make more study abroad programs available to students.
should be required and funded!!
I need a scholarship in order to study abroad.
I think that this survey was a very interesting way to gain some students attention, and to help us grasp more about the aficana studies. Although I haven't taken any of these course I still feel that it is a great program for those who really find a lot of a lot of a lot
Forty-nine percent (49%) of respondents indicated that KSU could do more to "educate students about history, culture, and issues that are specific to African, African American and other African descendant people."
Respondents indicated that they receive the most learning with a “non-European focus” in the following curricula: Integrative Studies (43%); English (26%) History (26%) and Art (21%).

At an HBCU studies of Africa and African-Americans is essential
We need more of these courses
The survey results clearly indicate that currently enrolled KSU students are interested in Africana Studies, with more than half of the respondents expressing a desire to pursue or consider pursuing a major in Africana Studies. Significantly, whether or not they would pursue the major, the preponderance of respondents stated their support for Africana Studies at KSU. The survey reveals that students believe the discipline is relevant to careers in Teaching and Social Work. These majors consistently produce the most KSU graduates. The section on study abroad generated the most open-ended comments and indicated a strong desire by students to pursue such opportunities.
The proposed degree program in Africana Studies will have a positive impact on instruction, research and other campus programming. The program has the potential to increase overall student enrollment as new students are attracted to the discipline. The program will potentially increase enrollment in existing courses. As proposed, the AFS degree has the potential to increase student completion of university minors, especially those in Sociology, African American Studies, Philosophy, International Studies, and those related to Fine Arts, and Languages.3
