Description
As one of the most ecologically diverse countries on the planet, Ecuador offers a wealth of flora and fauna that attract biologists, botanists, and environmentalists from around the world. Based in Quito and featuring three weeks of course-related trips in the Galápagos Islands, this program allows you to study issues of environmental management and preservation, while exploring Ecuador’s rich ecology. The program is organized in cooperation with the Galápagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences (GAIAS) and the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ).
