Ashesi's students will hold classes during our inaugural year at a newly renovated facility in the Labone neighborhood of Accra. Students will have access to our state-of-the-art computer, library, and classroom facilities, with a 2 to 1 student-to-computer ratio. Ashesi's first class will be exposed to technology in a way that is not currently offered at any other university in Ghana. During Ashesi's first term, students will take courses in Text & Meaning and Quantitative Methods. Text & Meaning will introduce students to different ways of reading and interpreting texts, and will build a strong foundation in critical thinking and writing skills. Quantitative Methods will survey quantitative approaches to work in the social sciences, primarily focusing on teaching students to apply quantitative tools to solve business problems.
