The MEAFSS has been running for over twenty years and brings students to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
The program takes place from January to April every year. Students take 15 credits worth of courses in the form of field classes and modules taught by McGill faculty and international professors, and a 6-credit research course. All classes are delivered in the field.
Students from all Faculties are welcomed. You will find more information about our program below.
