SFS Tanzania: Wildlife Management Studies

Step beyond a tourist experience in East Africa and explore the iconic landscapes of Tanzania. Meet the country’s charismatic wildlife—from magnificent lions and elephants to thunderous herds of wildebeest and zebras—as you learn about their ecology and behavior. In the Wildlife Management Studies program, you will take three 4-credit disciplinary courses, one 2-credit language and culture course, and a 4-credit capstone Directed Research course. All taught in English, these are participatory in nature and are designed to foster inquiry and active learning. Each course combines lectures, field exercises, assignments, tests, and research. Experience the rich culture and traditions of Tanzania’s Maasai, Iraqw, and Hadzabe tribal communities while collaborating on the issues of human-wildlife conflict and climate change. Finish the semester with an in-depth field research project.
