This intensive 6-credit course offers a learning experience in environmental maintenance and protection in two key Argentine regions: the province of Córdoba, known for its many nature preserves, and Patagonia, renowned for its unique geological formations. The course features experiential learning opportunities wherein students apply theoretical knowledge on the ground.

Faculty from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, an institution recognized for its ongoing work in the area, teach classes. On the other hand, park rangers from the Universidad Provincial de Córdoba and guides specializing in academic tourism lead field activities.

Along with theoretical and practical classes, the course includes visits to wildlife preserves, camping excursions in the national parks of Córdoba, and transport to the coastal region of Patagonia.

As part of the biodiversity and ecosystem training, students may participate in environmental protection tasks that these areas require. Classes are taught in English, but immersion and scientific and technical vocabulary will be in Argentine Spanish. Students may also enroll in an optional introductory Spanish course.
