CIEE Development Studies Program in Dakar, Senegal
Could there be a better way to explore the complexities surrounding environmental, development, and globalization issues, than by engaging with and confronting them yourself? In Senegal, you’ll join in a hands-on learning model to examine Senegalese society, from education to politics and the impact of Islam.

Through language learning, homestays, and coursework that drives a variety of field work and community engagement, studying abroad in Senegal provides you with unparalleled insight into issues of development and globalization in West Africa.

Study abroad in Senegal and you will:logo
  • Learn firsthand about the development challenges facing Senegal through both coursework and participation in urban and rural community engagement projects
  • Spend two weeks living, studying, and volunteering in a rural or semi-urban area of Senegal, deepening your understanding of development issues in different areas of the country
  • Live with a local host family to gain new perspectives on Senegalese traditions
