Summer Summary:
Due to overwhelming interest in the Summer 2012 Costa Rica and Galapagos programs, coursework has been split into two different sections per site.
International Development in Costa Rica will include coursework at UPEACE, weekend excursions to the Monteverde Region, sustainable agrotourism initiatives, boat safaris and canapy tours overlooking the Costa Rican forests. Students will also spend afternoons at various NGO's and agencies in San Jose.
International Environmental Politics, taught by Eve Bratman and Simon Nicholson, begins in Quito, Ecuador and continually hops between Galapagos Islands for three weeks of exploration and insight. Students will visit the Otavalo Market, hike Kicker Rock, and investigate volcanic tunnels.
