UW Study Abroad for Honors

Thinking about studying abroad? Check out the "Tropical Conservation Semester: Galapagos, Andes and Amazon" which is held each spring, in Ecuador, and is one of only two Honors study abroad programs at UW!



This academically rigorous learning adventure focuses on field-based instruction in terrestrial ecology, marine biology and conservation biology, and is a great fit for students in biological and environmental sciences.  Students live with host families in Quito and Galapagos, study Spanish, and participate in a month-long internship, deepening their awareness of Latin American culture and conservation in practice.  The semester is run in partnership with the Ceiba Foundation, by experienced faculty with over 30 years of combined experience in tropical ecology and conservation. 

The application deadline is Friday, October 4. Students will receive up to 16 UW honors credits for this program. The application and other information can be found on the UW-Madison International Academic Programs website. More information about the Tropical Conservation Semester is available on Ceiba's website.
