As Kenya’s inbound tourism takes center stage as the country’s biggest income earner, study-abroad programs have emerged as the fastest growing subsector of the industry, making the country one of Africa’s most popular study-abroad destinations. In 1999 alone, a total of 22 credit-awarding academic study-abroad programs were operating in Kenya, an increase from 15 programs in 1998. Out of these 22 programs, 15 were from the United States, four were from Europe, and one was from Japan. In contrast, there were more than 80 noncredit study-abroad programs in 1999, most of which were short two-week study tours or field observation excursions. Of the noncredit study-abroad programs, 62 were from different African countries while 14 were from Europe and 12 were from the United States. This article describes the credit-awarding study-abroad programs and focuses on the University of Minnesota Studies in International Development (MSID) Kenya program.
