Study abroad
Our study abroad trips give students the chance to learn about other countries and cultures while gaining hands-on experience in the field.
We did a lot of reporting in the fields, we were thrown right into it so it was very scary but that made it rewarding. It was amazing. It was like no other class I’ve really taken.”
