Join professors Ron Krabill and Ben Gardner to learn about their 2025 study abroad program to Rwanda:

Rwanda: Leadership and Nation Building
5 credits | Aug 28 – Sept 19 | $4,450 program fee

In this three-week study abroad program, students will immerse themselves in Rwanda, a country that has reimagined itself and rebuilt its economy and society after the 1994 genocide. We have built a unique partnership with the African Leadership University, a university that serves students from many different African countries. UW students will have the chance to collaborate closely with university students from Rwanda and several other African countries during their time in Rwanda. Students will learn about Rwanda’s efforts to rebuild its society after the genocide. After learning about history, culture, economics and leadership, students will have the opportunity to focus on a particular topic or theme to explore. Themes include Human Rights, Post-Genocide Peace and Reconciliation, Sports and Development, Global Health. Women’s Rights, Tourism and Eco-Tourism, and Urban Planning and Development. UW students will work in teams with ALU students on final projects and presentations.
