Students travel with French Department faculty for this program.

Dakar, Senegal is a thriving city on the Atlantic coast of West Central Africa. As a student on this program, you will fully immerse yourself in this vibrant Afro-Francophone culture while living with a host family and taking classes in Dakar.
