Apply to one of our three different academic emphases – Social Work Emphasis (SWE), Global Health Emphasis (GHE), or Interdisciplinary Emphasis (IE) – for a semester marked by academic excellence, authentic relationships, and transformational learning. Through courses at UCU, internships in the surrounding communities, field trips throughout Uganda, and cross-cultural relationships with professors and peers, you'll dig deeper into your academic discipline and start to see how these intercultural experiences impact your own life and vocation.
The following are recommended credits for the various emphases, which includes 13-19 credits.
