At NYU Accra, in the capital city of Ghana, you'll have an exciting opportunity to experience firsthand the diversity and complexity of West Africa. In virtually any field of study, you'll find courses that challenge and inform, question and reveal.
The academic program in Accra is unique among our sites because in addition to taking courses at the NYU Center you will have the opportunity to enroll directly in the local university to complete part of your course work. As you sit in class with the best and the brightest of Ghana's youth, you'll be taught by the nation's finest scholars.
A distinctive component of the NYU Accra experience is the opportunity to intern at one of the many NGOs and businesses (music, fashion) where students experience the social entrepreneurship occurring in this fast developing city. An extensive volunteer program also encourages students to interact with philanthropic groups and organizations.
Past students have high regard for the extensive cocurricular travel that introduces students to different regions and people outside the capital city.
