About the program

Join one of the premier universities in East Africa for the fall or spring semester to study and live alongside Ugandans and other students from the continent. Through classes, internships, and living with Ugandan families or peers, USP@UCU provides opportunities for students to authentically engage people, culture, and contemporary realities in Uganda in ways that challenge them to be active participants in Christ’s claim on all aspects of life. 

Just 15 miles from the capital city of Kampala, Uganda Christian University is situated in the bustling town of Mukono that will quickly become home. Along with trips throughout Uganda, students also participate on a 10-day study tour to neighboring Rwanda.

Students in the Uganda Studies Program at UCU choose from one of the following academic emphases (all offered both fall and spring semesters):

Social Work Emphasis (SWE) 

Global Health Emphasis (GHE) 

Interdisciplinary Emphasis (IE)
