TCU is offering a new study abroad program in Stellenbosch, South Africa for Spring 2019. Stellenbosch is located in South Africa’s Western Cape Province, just outside of Cape Town. While many students have studied abroad in South Africa before, it is the third most popular study abroad destination outside of Europe, TCU study abroad has not had its own program there and instead relied on “TCU Approved” programs. The Stellenbosch program was added to TCU’s travel abroad repertoire following a significant growth of interest from students about studying overseas. The TCU student body has grown by 21 percent since the 2007-08 school year, and program coordinator for the Center of International Studies Jesica Severson said that during that same period study abroad participation has grown by 54 percent. Students who travel to Stellenbosch will study and live at Stellenbosch University, one of the oldest universities in South Africa. The university features courses in the sciences, liberal arts and business. TCU chose Stellenbosch University due to its academic offerings across a wide array of disciplines, the most specific being the sciences, which Severson said has been a huge area of need.
