Study Abroad in Africa

The students travel to select African countries to examine different farming technologies, economic development activities, and political/cultural development. Students visit US Embassies and receive information from Department of Commerce, State, and Agriculture representatives about in-country programs and activities. These are combined with site visits to farms, businesses, and government agencies to increase understanding of the local situation. Students visit regional sites and experience safaris, camping, and internationally renowned destinations such as Victoria Falls.

The trip culminates with a visit to the United States Africa Command in Stuttgart, Germany, to learn about military and diplomatic developments in Africa, followed by a fun, educational, and relaxing trip to Munich, Germany, where we visit the Dachau concentration camp and sample local German cuisine.
