This program will give the students a chance to learn more about the region and the opportunity to share experiences with their counterparts from Arcadia University. The result of the exchange program is exposure to the EAC integration process, best learning practices and a widened knowledge of different cultures.
The Undergraduate African Studies Program will be held at the EAC Nyerere Centre for Peace Research in Arusha, Tanzania from 24 August to 16 December 2011. The program includes six courses: Conflicts, Peace and Security in East Africa; Climate Change: Law & Policy in Africa; Paleontology in Tanzanian context; Women in the Emerging East Africa: Gender and Development; Health Issues in Africa; and Kiswahili for Beginners.
Scholarship awards will only cover program related expenses and tuition fees. However some of the recipients who are in need could get a supplemental scholarship that will cater for their accommodation and food for the duration of their stay in Arusha.
