Engage in participatory action research in schools with Malawian colleagues, during summer term and make a difference for a lifetime: yours and theirs. Students can take 3 to 6 credit hours through this study abroad experience and should meet with their advisor to discuss whether these credit hours count towards their academic concentration in the teacher education programs.
