Liberia can serve as a stepping stone in attaining a higher education. Even though the country has a limited number of available institutions of higher education, it does provide an extensive list of available subjects including Administration, Culturology, Education, Arts, Health, Agriculture, Sociology, Business, Management, Computer Science and others. In addition, the sovereign state’s universities provide in-depth training for many subjects in English, which is also the country’s official language. As a result, students will be able to practice their foreign-language skills in addition to gaining insight into African culture. Furthermore, there are plentiful opportunities to participate in internship and volunteer programs in many fields of study, allowing students to gain and hone practical skills such as communication, gathering data, presenting information and others. This can be accomplished through popular and frequent forms of aid such as empowering women, developing communities, providing healthcare service, and others.
