How to Study Abroad in the Galapagos Islands
Most study abroad programs in the Galapagos Islands involve hands-on learning and interactions with its remarkable plant and animal species. With the rise in tourism on the Galapagos Islands, students will also be able to practice their Spanish with the local Ecuadorians that work there as well.
Popular Subjects. From liberal arts courses to business courses, you can find a huge range of options for courses that tickle your fancy. Some of the most popular subjects to study in the Galapagos Islands include environmental studies, service-learning opportunities, and Spanish. Most of the programs involve assisting the community to learn more about island ecology and the conservation and sustainability needs.
Summer vs. Long-Term Programs. From any season to a full year, you’re the captain of how much time you want to spend studying on a UNESCO World Heritage Site with no natural predators. Many summer programs offer courses related to biology, zoology, and ecology, where students will learn how the islands came to be and will be able to study the amazing diversity of plant and animal life that inspired Charles Darwin’s studies on species evolution. One of the most beneficial classes you can take for a year would be Spanish, where you can live with a host family and become more fluent with intensive language classes from dedicated instructors.
Attending Universities vs. Other Program Types. Some students might choose to directly enroll in the The Galapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences or other higher education institutions in Ecuador. Others might opt to study abroad through their own university or through a program provider. Determine your goals and need before choosing the right program type for you.
