Cameroon: Development and Social Change
Program Overview
Study development issues against the backdrop of Cameroon’s rich ethnic pluralism. This central African nation is home to more than 200 ethnic groups and even more languages and dialects, and finding common ground for its national agendas poses an ongoing challenge. Famous for its folklore, art, and diverse environments, Cameroon is a nation striving to preserve its cultural heritage and diversity in the face of globalization and pressing socioeconomic needs.
Cameroon’s hilly and verdant capital, Yaoundé, serves as the program base. Students have access to cultural activities, academic resources, and many of the international development organizations headquartered in the city. A two-week stay in the northern town of Ngaoundéré and excursions to western and coastal Cameroon give insight into how social change is manifested in different regions.
