[Plsugs] STUDY ABROAD - Undergraduate Certificate in International Environmental Conservation

[Quist, Tanya M - (tquist)]

For ALL Majors:

WE HAVE JUST A FEW SEATS STILL AVAILABLE; THE APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR THE AUSTRALIA AND NAMIBIA CLASSES IS FEBRUARY 24!


Our Study Abroad Classes:

These Study Abroad programs offer an amazing opportunity to visit some of the least-visited places on the planet. Whereas many travel abroad experiences involve looking through a tour bus window, we offer a more intimate look at the cultures and natural history of Australia, Ecuador, and Namibia. Students participate in actual research related to conservation and environmental science, and these classes fulfill course requirements for a variety of majors. They can also be applied to obtain an undergraduate certificate in International Environmental Conservation. Honors credit is available on each program and all satisfy the Environmental Science degree capstone requirement.
