Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad Cameroon: Development and Social Change

Examine development issues in Cameroon in the context of culture, politics, and the economy. Explore the Cameroonian immigrant experience in France.

WHY STUDY IN CAMEROON?

Cameroon, an ethnically diverse and rapidly changing country, is an ideal setting in which to study development. Alongside Cameroonian college students, you’ll discuss project sustainability, funding sources, and beneficiary involvement in project design and implementation with development experts and high-profile political leaders. Focusing on three major socio-cultural groups—Bamiléké, Bagyeli, and Anglophones—you’ll discover the complex relationships between development, modernization, and social change. You’ll also explore Cameroonian migration to France during a week in Paris.
