Study Abroad
Study Abroad (International) or Off-Campus (Domestic) Programs
There are a multitude of international study abroad or domestic off-campus options available for those interested in Environmental Studies (ES). Programs that have been particularly popular with our students include SIT (School for International Training) in Tanzania and Australia, DIS (Study Abroad in Scandinavia) in Denmark, and various other programs in New Zealand, the UK, and Ecuador.
All of our ES majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad.
In addition to studying abroad, there are also opportunities to take internships abroad.
