General Study

Program Description
Based at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), located alongside the Atlantic ocean, the beautiful campus is near several places of historical and cultural importance, and possesses a great atmosphere for study.

The program includes excursions to the capital city of Accra, the medieval castles in Cape Coast and Elmina both of which were used as staging areas for the transatlantic slave “trade”, the Asante capital of Kumasi, Bonwire (Kente cloth weaving village), plus an excursion to a game (wildlife) reserve in northern Ghana. 
Students will also have opportunity to attend and participate in the highly acclaimed Pan African Festival, PANAFEST (see http://www.panafest.us/ for information on the 2007 version)
