Wildlands Studies - Environmental Field Programs

The Department of Environmental Sciences partners with Wildlands Studies to provide international environmental field programs that offer participants firsthand experience with the critical issues facing our wild lands. Join Wildlands in sixteen different countries to learn field research, ecology, wildlife management, conservation, and cultural geography. Students earn credits, course grades factor into cumulative GPA, and six-week programs are eligible for financial aid. This is an affordable, environmentally-focused study abroad program and is very popular with College of the Environment students.
