Kenya

  “Quite honestly, every day of my KSP experience reaffirmed my desire to work and live in Africa. Kenyans are warm and hospitable and their land is beautiful.  I have been able to draw upon the KSP as the backbone of my career in international development.”

“I can safely say the KSP fundamentally changed the way I thought and helped me to figure out what I wanted to do in life, which is something every college student struggles with even after graduating.” 

  “My time in Kenya with the KSP has paved my entire way in life; bringing me to where I am right now in my career, and molding me into the person I have come to be.”

The SLU Program in Kenya began with a January term in 1972 and has operated a semester program since 1974.  In 2005 we added a summer program. During this time, nearly 1900 students have participated from more than 30 colleges and universities.

"Seeking out the unfamiliar to make it familiar was a challenge that helped to satisfy my curiosity about the world I was living in. There was so much to learn, to I absorb, to attempt to understand that it was real period of personal growth”

Off-campus study is an opportunity open to sophomore, junior and senior students with appropriate academic preparation, motivation, and interest in the relevant area.  Students in all major fields may participate in off-campus programs:  some programs have distinctive curricular strengths, but all are designed to enable students with a variety of interests to benefit from the experience of living and studying in a different cultural setting.

“Everyone associated with the KSP ensures you feel welcome and comfortable, such that our group felt like a large family.”
