Re: African Studies dual-title Ph.D. proposal<br />
Date: April 1, 2011<br />
I am writing to express my support for the Dual Title <strong>Graduate</strong> Program in African Studies. Political<br />
Science is interested in being an initial partner in this initiative. We see clear connections between some<br />
students in our graduate program and the additional training they would receive as part of the dual-title<br />
program. We also have multiple faculty who could link to the program. The degree program would<br />
parallel in many ways the Dual-Title program that we have with Asian Studies, where students are able<br />
to develop additional expertise in one or more countries in Asia. In both cases, we expect that the<br />
additional specialization and training they receive will allow students to conduct better research, write<br />
stronger dissertations, and be competitors for a wider variety of jobs at top employers. We fully<br />
support this proposal.<br />
