Africa
In Africa, there are many different types of programs and areas of study. You can spend a semester along the Nile in Uganda studying local agriculture practices at the ISU facility in Uganda, or send a summer in Kenya studying wildlife management in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Classes are taught in English, and you may even get a chance to study a local language for a semester (like Twi in Ghana). Or study in the Middle East where you can study Arabic and more about the region's culture, history and politics.
