Ghana - Philosophy

Calvin College, as a Christian institution in the Reformed tradition in North America, seeks to integrate its faith commitment with academic study. The Semester in Ghana program will help students understand the emerging theological, historical and social perspectives within Ghana and throughout sub-Saharan Africa. As students enter into dialogue with Ghanaians and study the history and peoples of the country, they will encounter worldviews different from those prevalent in North America. The Calvin director in residence, the staff of the Akrofi Christaller Centre and select staff of the Institute for African Studies (the University of Ghana) will encourage students' reflection and discussion about the implications of our common humanity and different understandings as Christians in God's world.
