The Division of Criminal Justice and the College of Continuing Education (CCE) plan an exciting study and travel opportunity each summer to explore the vibrant, peaceful and culturally enriching nation of Ghana in West Africa. The program examines comparative perspectives of law, justice, international human rights, and community justice and response to violence, as well as restorative justice and conflict-resolution processes.
