Study Abroad Program at APSU - Gambia, Africa
     The Study Abroad program in Gambia is designed to provide students with a hands-on learning experience of African politics and culture. The  five-week summer program will provide an historical and institutional approach.  Through this approach, students will examine, discuss, study, experience the most basic human institutions: The family, religion, clinic, education, industry and government.
     Students will be living primarily in traditional homes during the duration of their stay, having the opportunity to experience all aspects of the traditional extended family, from the extend of the family input in relation to the village and the community input in relationship to the state. 
     The program is supplemented with activities and field trips to the sites of historical and cultural importance; Juffureh (Home of Kunta Kinte), James Island and Janjanburi (once locations of old slave forts). 
     Cultural programs and entertainment are offered through song, dance, plays and observation of rituals in tradition.
