Travel to San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos Islands for two weeks on this study abroad adventure. With 97% uninhabited conservation land, the Galapagos Islands are home to many species, including sea lions, sea turtles, rays, hundreds of species of fish, hammerhead sharks, blue-footed boobies, and the famous Galapagos tortoise.

During this program, students work alongside a marine instructor to help research marine fish populations of the Galapagos by tracking numbers in real-time in the water, creating a presentation of findings, and learning about the marine ecology of the area and the anatomy of the variety of marine species. They also learn to scuba dive and earn their Open Water Diver certificate.

Time outside of coursework can be spent relaxing and exploring the pristine beaches, doing beach yoga, snorkeling, going on hikes, and seeing the sights in Quito.
