Study Abroad in The Gambia

Juniata College Study Abroad:
THE GAMBIA

The Gambia

Juniata students may choose to study for a month in the summer, or for an entire semester, in The Gambia, West Africa.
Separated from Sierra Leone by Guinea and Senegal – which almost completely surrounds it – the Gambia, like Sierra Leone,
was formerly a British colony. Because English is its common language, even US students without a second language may take
courses at the university and interact with its culture and people. The summer program focuses on Politics and Society in
West Africa and includes a portion in Senegal, while the semester program entails direct enrollment at the University of
The Gambia in Banjul. For more information, please visit: http://faculty.juniata.edu/nagengast/Summer%20Study%20Abroad_files/Study%20Abroad%20Africa.htm

			"...For in this hour when the dying night lingers Unwilling to surrender its wakening darkness Over your face and fevered brow, my torn fingers Will stray bringing such comfort As may calm your doubting heart." ~Abioseh Nicol (poet from Sierra Leone)
