Arts & Sciences in Gaborone
About this Program
Bring your studies to Botswana, one of Africa's best wilderness and wildlife areas! Nicknamed the "Gem of Africa," Botswana features incredible natural wonders like Okavango Delta, the Kalahari Desert, and the Chobe National Park. This beautiful country is also home to the "Big Five" (lions, leopards, elephants, black rhinos, and buffalo), making its natural landscape a fascinating backdrop for your study abroad adventure. When class is in session, you will take courses in biology, environmental science, business, education, engineering, media studies, African languages, and more at CIEE Gaborone and CIEE's partner school, the University of Botswana. All courses are taught in English. Outside the classroom, you will have opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities and excursions beyond the city to enhance classroom learning, provide intercultural understanding, and better connect with the people of Botswana.
