The Stellenbosch, South Africa, Study Abroad Program is a four-week Maymester program that offers a unique combination of classroom learning, community engagement, and wildlife viewing. The program is directed by UGA’s Center for the Study of Global Issues (GLOBIS) and is hosted by Stellenbosch University. The program offers two classes taught by UGA faculty, Democratic Erosion & Repression and Dissent, allowing students to earn six hours of UGA credit. There will also be cultural tours of Robben Island, Table Mountain, Cape Point and other destinations around Cape Town. For the final week of the program, students will go on a garden tour where they will have the chance see South African wildlife, participate in outdoor activities, and more.
