Centre reveals 2022-23 study abroad program
Centre College’s Center for Global Citizenship (CGC) announced 2022-23 study abroad courses and locations, including new
semester programs, as well as summer and CentreTerm courses.
This upcoming summer, students can participate in new courses located in Colombia, Italy, Miami, Spain and Quebec.
Two new semester programs have been added to the 2022-23 academic year: Lake Tahoe and Ghana.
The new Centre-in-Tahoe program will begin in January with a CentreTerm course taught by Brett Werner, associate professor of environmental studies, and continue each semester with a curriculum combining courses in the sciences and humanities that focus on the question, “What is Nature?”
Starting in Fall 2022, as part of Centre’s collaboration with Rhodes College and Sewanee: The University of the South, students from all three institutions will be able to participate in the new Ghana program: “Global Ghana: History, Culture and Development,” led by Sarah Murray, associate professor of education. Centre-in-Ghana will focus on connections between West Africa and the African Diaspora in the U.S. The course will begin with two weeks in Memphis, Tennessee at Rhodes, then will continue for 12 weeks in Ghana.
The new courses and some of the new locations for CentreTerm 2023 include the Caribbean, Ghana, Greece/Turkey, Lake Tahoe, Mexico (Oaxaca), Morocco and Taiwan.
