AFRICA
Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
Saint Mary's College offers a semester-long program at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in the charming, old-world city of Pietermaritzburg, about an hour from the Indian Ocean, nature reserves, and the bustling tourist resort area of Durban. The program is offered in coordination with InterStudy, a non-profit educational organization that has operated study abroad programs in South Africa for the past decade.
The program is an ideal fit for students interested in social justice, environmental biology, African literature, history, ethnic studies, religion, and sociology. Students typically take five classes or the equivalent of 15 credit hours while enrolled at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Students may enroll for fall or spring semester or the full year. Students will live on campus in apartment-style dorm rooms with a mix of local South African and international roommates. Upon arrival, students participate in an orientation program and visit local attractions.
This program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors with a minimum 2.5 GPA. It is expected that participating students will be in good disciplinary standing and exhibit emotional maturity and adaptability to new experiences.
