GEOG 493 “Sustainability Issues Across The Americas” field school in Peru
6 credits, Maymester 2015 (May 13-June 7) Tuition plus program fee: $2,895
A service learning experience based on an interdisciplinary team-based,
problem-solving, project-driven approach to sustainability issues.
Investigate the human health and happiness, environmental, and economic
dimensions of critical issues such as water resources, gold mining,
sustainable development, biodiversity, ecotourism, and human migrations.
Our itinerary allows us to engage with these issues by traveling the newly
completed InterOceanic highway from the high Andes into the global hotspot
of biodiversity in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon Basin.
The road presents an unprecedented opportunity to assess the impact of a
significant development project on Peruvian livelihoods.
There is still time go to Peru this May!
