Quality Education Programs in Southern Africa

The Center for Global Education at Augsburg College has coordinated educational programming in Southern Africa since 1990, first starting with short term programs, then establishing an undergraduate semester program based in Windhoek, Namibia in 1994. More about locale and accommodations in Namibia.
 


The Center was the first U.S. educational organization to have a permanent presence in Namibia. The longevity of our relationships with a wide range of community members is a unique feature of our programs in Southern Africa, and enables an opportunity to study issues of nation building, decolonization, and the long process of moving from apartheid to a true democratic country.
