Drew in West Africa: Mali

Unique among Drew’s off-campus programs is this summer program in Mali, the West African nation named after one of the great kingdoms of the 13th century. Students participating in this four-week program have the opportunity to visit ancient mosques and libraries in Timbuctu, market towns such as Mopti along the Niger River, the striking cliffside towns of the Dogon people, and the busy modern capital of Bamako . With its emphasis on the arts of Malian people, this program provides an extraordinary opportunity to learn about changing Africa Hearing lectures by American and Malian faculty, as well as observing demonstrations of weaving, pottery, masquerades, and so on, students can receive credit for two four-credit courses.

The Mali program will not be offered in 2011/2012
