Social Engagement

Courses in the African Language Program have a strong emphasis on the culture of their language. Learning the African culture of one's language of study is central to the ALP philosophy of empowering students with the necessary linguistic skills for effective social engagement in their endeavors.

Understanding and learning a culture is essential in overcoming many obstacles that one inevitably encounters when they pursue their passions in a new environment. The African Language Program enrolls students from many diverse disciplines who all share an interest in Africa. Our primary goal is to equip these diverse students with the necessary linguistic and cultural skills to pursue their varied interests in the regions that their passions take them.
