Sandy Bank School Treasure Beach Jamaica UMass

Each winter the Africana Studies Department at UMass Boston offers a study abroad program on location in Jamaica.
The program is designed to facilitate an understanding of Jamaica through total immersion in different aspects of the country. The program will explore the culture, environment, language and literature of Jamaica, and the country's economic, political, and social realities. Activities will include presentations by local experts and visits to significant historical and cultural sites in Jamaica, such as the National Gallery, Bob Marley Museum, Morant Bay, Mooretown, and Maroon Settlement in Accompong Town.

Participants will spend the first two weeks of the program at the University of the West Indies in Kingston and the final week in Treasure Beach in Southern Jamaica where, in addition to attending daily classes, they will work in a field project. Earn up to 6 academic credits. For more information contact Susan Griffin at Susan.Griffin@umb.edu or visit our website http://ccde.umb.edu/international/jamaica
