Semester abroad in Costa Rica or S. Africa

The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) has semester abroad opportunities in Costa Rica and South Africa.  In both cases, you would earn 16 credits that should be transferable to Rutgers (if you already have a lot of transfer credits, check to make sure you can still transfer in 16 more).  The courses you would take would transfer as fulfilling the major requirements for Principles of Ecology (704:351), research (experience based education), and a science policy course such as Hazardous Waste (375:430) or Environmental Law (374:460).  In addition, you would get four credits of multicultural and international studies (SEBS gen ed requirement).

They also have a summer program in Costa Rica that earns you 4 credits equivalent to Principles of Ecology (704:351).

If you are interested, please check out their website  www.ots.duke.edu.  Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the earlier you apply the better chance you have of getting financial aid.  Don't let the sticker price deter you!  If you are interested, please come talk to me and I will do my best to make this happen for you.
