Global Health and Service Learning in Ghana

This program is ideal for students interested in studying global health and development issues in Africa. In this program, you will take courses examining health and development in Ghana, as well as contemporary issues facing Ghanaian society. As a complement to your coursework, you will be placed in a hands-on service learning experience at a local community organization, healthcare service provider, or research institute.

You will receive pre-departure cultural and language orientation by a GEO staff who is from Ghana and also an introduction to Modern Twi (Ghana's most commonly spoken language), through your on-site orientation. A GEO staff will accompany students to provide extra support for students. 

If you have career aspirations in the fields of community and international development, social work, psychology, mental health, medicine, or public/global health, you will greatly benefit from this program.

GEO program fees for students cover tuition, housing (additional fee for homestay required in fall), excursions, books, some meals, course materials, and on-site orientation. Insurance and a 24-hour emergency service are also included. For information on scholarship funding, please visit the Scholarships page on our website.
