Program Description:
The Pitzer in Southern Africa program is a multi-country comparative studies semester program in Botswana and South Africa. Through the program, students will learn about the multiple ways governments, NGOs, and local communities choose to approach issues such as colonial legacy, development, power, human rights, big game conservation, tourism, health care, education, and poverty alleviation. Students live with host families, participate in community service projects, study local cultures and languages, and work with scholars and experts in each country. The program is affiliated with Botho University, a private university in Botswana committed to sustainability and social responsibility. The program is open to Pitzer College students and non-Pitzer undergraduate students.
