Learn more about the Jamaica Study Abroad summer international service learning program. This program focuses on international service learning, diversity, pro-poor development and global citizenship. Students take two integrated, interdisciplinary courses that combine academic readings and discussions with experiential learning and community-based research. Students meet as a group four afternoons a week and spend an average of three days a week in the field. They all explore the history, culture, socio-economic development and formal and non-formal (community-based) education in Jamaica, while also learning what it means to be a global citizen in their chosen field.
