Global Education Africa

As you consider the many options to study off campus, we encourage you to think about what enhances your academic experience overall, and, when possible, your major area of study. Keep this in mind as you browse the programs and talk with your academic advisor(s). The Global Education staff can help you find a program that best fits your needs and interests.

Please note that students must first apply to the Office of Global Education for approval to participate in an affiliate program. Deadline to submit an affiliate program application for Fall 2024 is November 30, 2023. Priority will be given to upper-division students and students whose major or minor requires global study. Please 四虎影院 us at ocp@westmont.edu for further information or to schedule an appointment to learn more about the process.

Uganda Studies Program

The Uganda Studies Program (USP) at Uganda Christian University (UCU) provides students with immersion in a local community as well as broad exposure to a variety of people and places in Uganda and Rwanda. Applicants to USP may apply to live either on-campus at UCU or with a host family for the semester. USP offers a Social Work Emphasis (SWE), Global Health Emphasis (GHE), or Interdisciplinary Emphasis (IE). All options encourage students to participate in Ugandan life, serve local non-profits, and explore the intricacy of cross-cultural relationships which give students a firsthand perspective as they explore issues such as poverty, aid and missions. In addition to the required core course, Faith & Action in the Ugandan Context (4), students will choose from an approved selection of courses from the UCU curriculum for up to 16 credits. (Open to all majors). This program was formally part of the CCCU's BestSemester program.
