Washington University's Summer Program in Kenya is a dynamic program in language and culture offering four weeks of full immersion in the central region of the country: Nairobi, Rift Valley, Mt. Kenya area, and the coast (subject to confirmation). This program, offered by the African and African American Studies Program, is designed to enhance a student’s understanding of Kenyan society by carefully blending coursework, home stays, community conservation projects through the Green Belt Movement, guest lectures, and memorable excursions.
The program is intended to accommodate individual student interests and may therefore appeal to students who major in African Studies, Anthropology, Environmental Studies, Education, Kiswahili, Women’s Studies and Political Science. The program will be under the direction of Dr. Mungai Mutonya, Senior Kiswahili lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis.
