Environmental Studies Abroad
Green looks good on everyone, and sounds good in any language. Up your eco-IQ by taking courses in biology, ecology, marine science, environmental engineering, sustainable development, and environmental studies, enabling you to better understand—and contribute to—the global dialogue on environmental sustainability, development, and globalization.

take a class—or two—in environmental studies
At many other CIEE Study Centers around the world, you can take a class—or classes—to study environmental issues from a science—based perspective, including coursework in biology, ecology, natural sciences, and marine biology. Or take a development approach and look at biodiversity, sustainability, and preservation in Australia, an innovator in preservation and environmental issues, or in The Netherlands, a nation at the forefront of water management, waste management, and renewable energy. The choice is yours. For-credit internships are available on the programs indicated.

over the summer
If you don’t have time to study abroad for a semester, take a summer class. Take advantage of these programs to hone a specific focus on a particular country’s environment, culture, and relevant issues, or participate in an intensive fieldwork program.
fieldwork programs
Learn about geodiversity and conservation in developing—or developed—countries. Or, get out of the classroom and go outdoors to see biodiversity in action, no microscopes required. CIEE offers 25 programs in 13 countries during the summer and the academic year that give you the chance to dive in and get to know some of the planet’s rarest flora, fauna, and creatures—and how to protect them—all while earning college credit.
Combine coursework with hands-on field study, field trips, and excursions into different ecosystems, or find an internship with a local company or NGO that supports your interest in the environment. You’ll generate cross-cultural connections and commitments to understanding our shared home: mother earth.
