An Insight semester abroad in Uganda will be a truly unforgettable experience. Though our program might sound complex, it’s really quite straightforward. While in Uganda, you will:
Intern with a locally-led organization four days of the week
Take classes and earn transferable credits one day of the week
Travel and explore the region on weekends and during the week-long break
The program runs for 13 weeks during the winter/spring, summer and fall semesters and is open to students of all academic backgrounds.
