CIEE: Ghana Arts and Science
This CIEE program welcomes students from all academic disciplines who want to augment their undergraduate studies with learning about Ghana, through direct enrollment at the University of Ghana.

Students attending this program can enroll in a wide range of courses alongside local students to experience higher education in Africa first hand.
