Since 1986, the University of Missouri South African Education Program (UMSAEP) Committee has sponsored a program to support academic exchange between the University of Missouri and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, South Africa. This program has been recognized as a model program and has provided significant opportunities for teaching, research, and service.
The University of the Western Cape is organized around faculties in Arts (including Religion and Theology), Sciences, Education, Community and Health Sciences, Economic and Management Sciences, Law, and Dentistry.
