Travel and Study Abroad

Global Education

Travel and study abroad programs allow students to experience customs, languages and cultures of the world firsthand. Students have up-close-and-personal encounters with some of the greatest accomplishments in history and get the chance to practice what they have learned about other customs, languages and currencies.

Ghana’s distinctive rich history, linguistic diversity, and place in the global world will be explored.
