Ghana Summer Immersion Program: 

The Ghanaian summer field research program  is designed to give students hands-on experience in field research and direct service to developing West African nations and to shape the way the international community perceives and treats mental health issues.  Students who participate in IUS’s immersive international Psychology experience will not only make an impact on the West African community, but they will make friends and multicultural connections that will last a lifetime. 

Travel is scheduled for the first three weeks of summer term and estimated expenses including airfare, food, accommodations, water, in-country travel, entrance fees, and tuition are approximately $5,400.
