KENYA:
SEMESTER PROGRAM
The St. Lawrence University program in Kenya offers an intensive,
cross-cultural learning opportunity by carefully blending classroom
and academic field experiences. The program balances the study of
urban and rural areas, cultural diversity, and environmental issues.
Course topics include Kenyan peoples and cultures, women's studies,
philosophy, political science, religion, environmental resource
management, history, sociology, and Kiswahili, the national language.
Field studies, concentrating on pastoralist culture and economics,
form the foundation for a one-month internship or a field course
culminating in a major research project. Students are housed in
homestays in three different ethnic groups and geographical regions.
Eligibility: At least one course in African studies is highly advised.
Students are also expected to complete independent readings suggested
by St. Lawrence University prior to participation in the program.
Telephone interview required.
