Study Abroad

EXPLORE DIFFERENT CULTURES WITH UJ

Whether you travel for two weeks or up to a month, you can expand your horizons with faculty- and staff-led study abroad experiences in the following locations:

• Chogoria, Kenya
  Work with local schools, non-profit entities, and community organizations on projects related to your major in this small community located 115 miles north of Nairobi. While you’re there, you’ll have the opportunity to hike Africa’s second tallest mountain, Mt. Kenya, and go on a safari in the Maasai Mara.

  
  In February, a second trip to Chogoria is reserved for nursing students, who have a clinical experience in the PCEA Chogoria Hospital and work with community agencies doing public health outreach. Photo Gallery
