The Lonely Planet Tunisia Travel Guide contains travel information, advice, hotels, reviews, maps and itineraries.
Around forty percent of Tunisia is composed of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil and coastline. The latter played prominent roles in ancient times, first with the famous Phoenician city of Carthage, and later, as the Africa Province, which became known as the bread basket of the Roman Empire.

The University of Mississippi has approved partner programs in which students may participate. These partner programs allow students to study at sites which may not be available through exchanges. Some also offer unique programs that are tailored to particular academic or career interests. Ole Miss students who study on approved partner programs remain enrolled as University of Mississippi students while abroad and receive UM credit.

Through our short-term programs you can spend summer or winter abroad. We offer programs at long as 6 weeks and as short as 2. You can earn 3, 6, or 9 hours in many business, liberal arts, and applied sciences courses.
The advantages of a Faculty-Led Program are that you can take 3 hours of credit in 3 weeks or 6 hours in 4 weeks while visiting a new country. Because courses are offered during winter and summer terms, you won’t miss any semester requirements – plus, spending time with a professor abroad may help you garner a good recommendation for graduate school or a job. Wintersession courses will be posted in September.
We also offer short-term programs through our partner listed above.
