SIT Study Abroad: Cameroon: Development and Social Change
- Cameroon
About Program
SIT and Dickinson College have partnered to create a one-of-a-kind, interdisciplinary study abroad program in Cameroon that is open to all students. This program examines critical issues affecting communities and people in Cameroon, West Africa, and the Global South. Students may choose an intensive French- or English-language program track with no language prerequisites.
Spring semester students of French may enroll at Catholic University of Central Africa where you’ll have the opportunity to explore cocurricular university activities with Cameroonian students. Both spring and fall students may request a Francophone or Anglophone homestay, depending on French ability.

Scholarships
SIT Robert Kantor Memorial Scholarship
Each year one student will be granted $10,000 in scholarship aid to study abroad with a SIT program. Funded by individual donors and foundations, the requirements are tight: seeking first-generation college students who've never traveled abroad before, currently attend an HBCU, and demonstrate strong financial need.
