MSID—Sustainability in Senegal

Study sustainability, climate change, and sustainable development in Senegal, the land of "eternal spring." You will also participate in a 6-week internship or research project, allowing you to focus your studies on a unique sustainability topic (i.e., work on a farm monitoring irrigation, improving agricultural techniques, promoting organic agriculture). Senegal has a tropical but comfortable climate, with cool Atlantic water surrounding it on three sides. The climate is often described as "eternal spring" because of the idyllic temperatures and weather. Despite this, the country is not immune to climate change and challenges in sustainable development. In this program, you will live in the capital city, Dakar, allowing you to experience firsthand both Senegal's beauty and the sustainability challenges it faces. Learn about how Senegal works toward a sustainable future from the Senegalese people themselves, and deepen your understanding of these issues with a 6-week internship or research project.
