Extract

The National Consortium for Study in Africa (NCSA), established in 1994 by the 15 Title VI National Resource Centers for African Language and Area Studies, with financial support from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, maintains as one of its primary goals the promotion of high-quality study-abroad programs in Africa for American students and faculty. Through its work, the NCSA hopes to enhance opportunities for a larger number of students to benefit from a study-abroad educational experience in an African setting. Special emphasis will be placed on increasing the participation of minority students who tend to be underrepresented in such programs.
