Studying
abroad close to home with plenty of hands-on experience with animals is
great for students who haven’t studied abroad before. The Institute
for Sustainable International Studies, ISIS Belize, offers animal
science courses over the summer in English speaking Belize. Our courses
offer experiences on farms, in the jungle, at wildlife rescue clinics,
the Belize Zoo and in the Caribbean Sea.

Our summer 2013 students had this to say:
“I
was able to get hands on experience and understand a different way of
life. The course helped me to discover what it means to be a wildlife
rehabilitator- the pros and cons.” S. O., Pennsylvania
“…quick,
but intensive course with opportunities to develop clinical skills with
most domestic animals. At the same time, students get to experience
life in a developing country and veterinary experiences apart from the
US.” A. G., Michigan
“…
if you have absolutely any interest in sustainable development, marine
biology, ecotourism, biology in general, environmental studies in
general, or just like nature, there is absolutely no reason not to take
this course because you will only become more passionate about those
things” A. S., Washington
Summer
sessions run through June and July and are designed for students to
take courses back to back for six credits and a month in Belize. A two week course is $2675 and the two course session is $4,225*. Airfare is not included. Application forms are available on the ISIS website. Transcripts
are issued from Sacred Heart College in San Ignacio, Belize or for
those students needing transcripts from a US university, click here for details. If summer doesn’t work, we offer these same classes during the winter break, December 26 – January 7.
