Our Approach to Educantion Abroad:

We believe focus and clarity of purpose are important. We specialize in Africa and its Diaspora worldwide. GLN is the premier, African-managed organization offering education abroad programs. Our Programs are built around highly relevant and timely themes that integrate academics and co-curricular activities. Each Program incorporates a generous amount of in-country travel and cultural experiences. It is imperative that our students see and experience all aspects of their host country. And our administrators and faculty members thoroughly embrace the operational best practices for study abroad students. We insist that our faculty and students:

• Act with integrity and honor. Do the right thing.
• Bring academic rigor and critical thinking to our programs.
• Have a passion for direct experience and interaction with other cultures.
• Behave ethically and respect the laws of the countries we visit.
• Follow GLN rules for health and safety.
• Learn a lot and have fun!

Further, to assure excellence, we conduct audits and quarterly reviews of each Program. Participant evaluations and feedback are especially important.

Building Competencies

Anyone attending college today will collaborate or compete with people and companies from around the world over the course of his or her career. It is difficult to be effective in this global environment without some intercultural competencies and an awareness of current international issues. We help participants develop these competencies. Our advice: wherever you go, whenever you go, whatever you study, go.
