HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"This program created a valuable combination of environmental science and Spanish language education. All of the classes were taught in Spanish by a variety of local researchers who each lectured on their specialty. We learned about the local ecosystem and human interactions with this ecosystem. We also had many excellent field trips and excursions (including Antarctica!) to learn about a place or a research technique in the field."
