The Community Development in Cameroon program serves both Antioch University (AU) students and undergraduate students from any college or university in the United States. Students in good academic standing with their home institutions may apply.

Applicants should be mature, culturally sensitive, self-disciplined, self-motivated, and able to adapt to new situations. We welcome students interested in a broad range of disciplines, including community development, education, peace studies, journalism, history, international relations, agriculture, economics, health sciences, entrepreneurship, sustainability, sociology, women’s and gender studies, and other related fields.

No prior foreign language experience is required. This program is conducted entirely in English, as Buea is located in one of two Anglophone regions of Cameroon.

Deadlines

The application deadline is October 30.

We strongly encourage students to visit their study abroad office on their home campus as soon as possible as they may have earlier deadlines.

Early applications may be reviewed for early acceptance. Late applications will be reviewed on a space available basis. If you plan to apply after the deadline, contact AEA to verify if there is space remaining on the program.

Passports

Students who need to obtain or renew their passports should apply as soon as possible using the expedited option due to major delays at U.S. passport processing centers. (You will need to renew your passport if it is not valid for at least 6 months past the end of the program).  Apply for or renew your passport here.
