Higher Education
The Excellence in Higher Education for Liberian Development project partnered with the University of Liberia and Cuttington University to build Centers of Excellence to expand access to, improve the quality of, and enhance the relevance of higher education programs in engineering and agriculture, fields that are critical to address Liberia’s development challenges.
The Center for Excellence in Health and Life Sciences project manages the implementation of program objectives of the Africa-U.S. Higher Education Initiative partnership between Indiana University and the University of Liberia. The project focuses on increasing University of Liberia’s teaching and learning resources for medicine, nursing, midwifery, life sciences, and public health through the creation of a new two-year, Core Health and Life Science undergraduate program, as well as improvements in quality of instruction through faculty and staff strengthening, curriculum development, and upgrades in instructional resources.
