The Basenji University

How does the University work? The concept is similar to correspondence degree programs, where Basenji breeders, owners, exhibitors and judges can take courses and complete them at their own pace at home.
      How are the courses in The Basenji University designed?  University courses use a workbook, and sometimes, a workshop approach.  Workbook exercises incorporate easy to answer formats such as true and false, multiple choice, fill in the blanks and matching questions.  Breeders, owners and judges send their completed written exercises for each course to BCOA “faculty members” to be reviewed. "Certificates of Completion" are offered for courses on breeding, conformation, owning a Basenji, judging, and performance activities.  "Certificates of Completion" will be awarded to anyone successfully completing the workbook exercises for each course. Completed workbooks should be attached to emails and sent to BasenjiU@basenji.org.
      How is The Basenji University set up and which courses have been completed?  The University is divided into a system of “colleges.” The divisions are listed below. The University is offering one or more courses in each college at this time.
