Tanzania: Studies in Human Evolution and Ecology (An ACM Program)
The Tanzania program offers undergraduates an unusual opportunity to conduct field work in some of the world's greatest paleoanthropological and ecological sites. Students divide their time between the University of Dar es Salaam and the Northern Region of Tanzania. At the University they take courses in intensive Swahili, human evolution, and the ecology of the Serengeti while developing a research topic. For the next six weeks, students live in tent camps and pursue individual field projects in the Serengeti/Ngorongoro area before returning to the University for final work on their projects. The program is both physically and academically demanding, and only well-qualified students will be selected for this one semester (fall) program.

Botswana: Culture and Society in Africa (An ACM Program)
The Associated Colleges of the Midwest offers a new, one semester, program focusing on social, economic, and political development in Botswana, in southern Africa. The program will pay particular attention to the politics and social structure of contemporary Botswana and its place in the south African regional economic and political systems, and will offer language instruction in Setswana. Each student completes an independent study project under the direction of the Program Director or a member of the University of Botswana faculty, which will include significant field observation. Students will either stay with host families or will live in University of Botswana graduate student dormitories.
