Galapagos Islands Landscape and Iconic Giant Tortoise

Tropical Biology in the Galapagos Islands

In the Galapagos Islands Tropical Biology Study Abroad Program, students will study the natural history of the Galapagos Islands through readings, discussions, as well as field instruction and observations related to the geology, oceanography, and biology of this unique location.

Offered alternately with the Belize Tropical Biology Study Abroad Program, this is an intensive program in which students learn to identify common species, and study their ecology and behavior. In addition, students learn about the history of the islands and their inhabitants.
