This 6-credit program comprising two semesters brings together faculty and students in environmental science, international politics, and media production to forge an interdisciplinary approach to environmental issues. You will spend the spring semester learning field research, tools, policy analysis, documentary communication techniques, and other relevant skills designed to give a broad understanding of and engagement with particular environmental challenges. The experience in the Galapagos Islands is the summer fieldwork component of the spring course, where you will experience hands-on project based learning in a unique, revered ecosystem that faces immense environmental and policy changes. Because the program occurs over two semesters, students are required to commit to both spring and summer courses upon application. They carry 3 credits in the spring and 3 credits in the summer.
