The Republic of South Africa has emerged as a major political and economic force within the continent, under the ruling African National Congress (ANC). The country has become an engine for economic growth, political reform, and ethnic tolerance throughout much of Southern Africa. Studying in South Africa provides immersion into the rural African experience of Sub-Saharran Africa, as well as a modern view of the urban African city.

Set on South Africa's eastern coast, the port of Durban is a large metropolitcan city in the largely rural province of KwaZulu-Natal. Durban spreads out on the coastal plain a few miles below the hills that contain the Howard College campus and the 40,000 students attending the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). In addition to extensive academic offerings available at UKZN, the university offers extensive sporting, cultural and extra-mural facilities. The newly merged University of KwaZulu-Natal is poised to become one of South Africa's leading tertiary institutions.
