Program Summary

Located in West Africa on the Gulf of Guinea, Ghana stands out as one of the most politically and economically stable as well as culturally vibrant countries on the continent. The capital city of Accra is an intriguing blend of successful modernity and rich colonial history.

Students can take courses in journalism, global public health, applied psychology, and food and nutrition studies.

"I loved how much we were encouraged to explore outside the classroom and truly immerse ourselves in the Ghanaian culture."
