Unparalleled learning opportunities
February 04, 2024by: Alex LeonieProgram: Marine and Costal Ecology
The Environment and Biodiversity program in Sicily was a life-changing experience. Exploring ecosystems from the coast to Mount Etna offered unparalleled learning opportunities. The mix of theoretical knowledge and fieldwork, especially the capstone project, was perfect for hands-on learning. Also, learning Italian was a bonus!
Real-world experience
February 15, 2024by: Samira CömeProgram: Marine and Costal Ecology
As an Environmental Sciences major, this program was incredibly enriching. The hands-on activities and the capstone project on environmental sustainability provided real-world experience that's hard to come by. Also, the opportunity to learn Italian and interact with a diverse group of students added so much value.
Perfectly blended academic rigor with adventure
February 04, 2024by: Jordan GüntertProgram: Marine and Costal Ecology
This summer program perfectly blended academic rigor with adventure. Visiting Mt. Etna and the Aeolian Islands for field studies was beyond educational. However, I wished for more in-depth sessions on marine biology. Overall, the multicultural environment and earning college credits were major pluses.
