Do you want to learn Swahili?!
Registration Open for Swahili Language with a Health Focus Course with Two Levels!
BU’s African Studies Center is offering “Swahili Language with a Health Focus” on the Medical Campus during the SPRING 2017 Semester, at two levels:
- CAS LE529 A1 – Swahili with a Health Focus 1
- CAS LE530 A1 – Swahili with a Health Focus 2 (prerequisite, previous course in Swahili)
This is a fantastic opportunity for MPH and other students on the MED campus who are interested in working in East Africa. The course is offered for 1 credit. Meeting times will be determined based upon when enrolled students are available. (Depending on interest, more than one section may be offered).
This intensive course will be scheduled for 1 hour & 45 minutes, twice a week. The class will focus on providing students with practical speaking, listening, and reading skills that will be useful in conducting fieldwork and will also highlight East African cultural notions of health.
If you are interested in taking the course please register for CAS LE529 or LE530 as soon as possible via student link. Once you have registered, the instructor will communicate with you directly about scheduling. Contact Professor Geofred Osoro at gosoro@bu.edu if you have questions.
NOTES
- Credits from language courses, will not count toward your MPH degree.
- Students taking 12-17 SPH credits can register for this class without additional tuition expense.
