Swahili course still open!!
Registration Open for Swahili Language with a Health Focus Course – CAS LE491
We have exciting news for those of you interested in taking an African language class this semester. BU’s African Studies Center is offering “Swahili Language with a Health Focus” on the Medical Campus. 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 2 hours, 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 LE491 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 or Jen Beard at jenbeard@bu.edu if you have questions.
