This biennial program introduces students to Western African culture. Organized by the Lawrence French department in conjunction with the Baobab Center, participants study the French and Wolof languages, Senegalese history and culture, and Francophone African literature and may arrange individual music lessons.
The academic program is supplemented by local excursions, a stay in a rural village, and field trips to other parts of the country and region. The program is only offered for a spring term. Previous language study is required.
