Program Overview
Since 2012, twenty-nine (29) Gilman Scholars have studied on the KIIS Tanzania program. The KIIS Tanzania program is focused on public health; it includes practicums for students in health-related majors such as medicine, nursing, health administration, public health, and social work. The practicums provide rich hands-on experiences in settings such as hospitals, HIV clinics, and orphanage homes. The program is based in the city of Dar es Salaam. We also take excursions to Mwanza for an entire day of Safari at the Serengeti; an aerial view of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa; and the famous Islands of Zanzibar to discover the rich land and sea biodiversity of Tanzania.
All KIIS course credit is awarded by Western Kentucky University. Prior to your KIIS program, please speak with your home campus academic advisor and/or study abroad office to determine course equivalencies. Grades will be transferred to your home institution in mid-August after the completion of the program. Course offerings are subject to change according to enrollment. For more information, visit Transcripts & Grades.
Practicum Opportunities
Available for both undergraduate and graduate students in health professions such as health administration, medicine, nursing, nutrition and social work. Interested students should contact KIIS Tanzania Program Director Dr. William Mkanta to begin making preparations.
What's Included
Program Cost: $4,895 + airfare
To help you budget, keep in mind that you are responsible for the cost of obtaining a passport ($145), one meal per day + personal expenses (approx. $300-$700 depending on your food tastes/spending habits), any class readings/materials, and any fees from your college/university.
Although KIIS tries to foresee all possible expenses in formulating program fees, please note that dramatic fluctuations in foreign currency valuations and/or airline surcharges may affect the total cost of the program.

The Tanzania program offers a group flight option where you can travel to/from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania with other students and faculty. If you choose this option, KIIS will purchase a round-trip flight ticket on your behalf. The flight cost will be added to your final program fee on April 1.
The Tanzania group flight will depart from Washington, D.C in the morning. If you are on the group flight, you have the option to stay at a hotel near the Washington Dulles airport on the night of July 1. The cost of the hotel is covered by the group flight airline ticket.
