Admissions

The Uganda Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program which gives no preference to students in any particular field of study. However, a good academic record is necessary: students are required to maintain a GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, regardless of major.

USP is designed for students in their second, third, or fourth year in college. All full-time students earning credit toward their degree are eligible.
