Although there are no area studies programs, more than twenty of the Institute's science, engineering, humanities, and social science faculty have an interest in Africa, and many of these have done serious African research in recent years.
A limited number of humanities and social science bachelor degrees are awarded. There is no formal graduate work in the social sciences, and there are no fellowships. African library materials are good. A small number of students have gone on to doctoral work in African studies following their strong science background at Caltech.
During 1966/67 an interdisciplinary seminar, “Science and Development,” will be offered by Professors Huttenback (history), Munger (geography), Oliver (economics), and Scudder (anthropology). This seminar will emphasize development problems in Africa by using visiting African experts as well as members of the faculty.
