Uganda Studies Program Scholarly Work

Something that sets USP apart from other study abroad programs is that it is a department within Uganda Christian University: “A Centre of Excellence in the Heart of Africa”. As part of a unique, Christian higher education institution in East Africa, USP is committed to advancing global academics and building partnerships across borders, particularly in the field of social work, global health, and cross-cultural competence. For more information on these efforts and/or publications, please contact us at usp@ugandastudiesprogram.org.
