Dear Faculty,
Do
you have students asking for environmental science courses in a real
world setting? Would they like to add an international adventure in
their education? The Institute of Sustainable International Studies,
ISIS, the only English speaking country in Central America,
is offering courses this winter that will allow students to expand
their boundaries. Students have the chance to explore inland jungles and
rivers, elaborate cave systems, grasses and mangroves surrounding the
Belize Barrier Reef and discover traditional methods of environmental
conservation. If they are ready to leave their comfort zone and further
their education through practical application, then ISIS is ready for
them. For full details on the Environmental Science courses offered and
the syllabus for each course, please click on the links below.
- Tropical Marine Conservation Biology
- Tropical Ecosystems: New Approaches to Sustainability
- Indigenous Knowledge in the 21st Century
One student summarized his experience by saying:
“The
field trips were the best in the Marine Ecology class. Nothing like
getting outside and experiencing first hand and being able to converse
with the locals! I learned a lot about the environments and problems in
Belize and its culture and customs. Take this course – I had a great
experience!”~J.T.
Our
two week winter session runs from December 26, 2013 to January 7, 2014,
including travel days. The cost, $2,995, includes one course,
accommodations, transportation to and from the airport, field trips and
excursions, breakfasts and one transcript for transferring credit.
Airfare is not included. Students receive three (3) credits from Sacred
Heart College. The application deadline for winter is October 15th, 2013. Application forms are available on the ISIS website.
Cynthia Reece, creece@isisbelize.com, the Program Director for ISIS, can respond to questions related to housing, logistics, course costs, and other details. Thank you for sharing this with your students.
