Summer Quarter in Cape Town

Since summer 2015, BOSP has offered a summer quarter in Cape Town, South Africa. Cape Town has a focus on community-engaged learning. 

Students studying in Cape Town can arrange a directed reading guided by a Cape Town program lecturer or campus-based Stanford faculty member. 

The Center for African Studies offers a writing workshop for students pursuing Africa-related honors theses. Students who have participated in the Stanford Program in Cape Town, especially those who have completed research, are well prepared to meet the requirements for honors certification in their departments and are welcome to participate in the Honors Thesis Workshop.

Next Steps

  1. Explore the Cape Town webpages to see what students did while abroad and get an overview of the program.
  2. Visit a study abroad advisor. You might want to meet with Lizzy Monroe or a peer advisor to discuss Cape Town in more detail.
  3. Apply. Applications will open in early December and the deadline for summer applications is in late January.
