Education abroad supports students’ career ambitions
For five weeks, starting in early May, 27 students participated in 2 different programs through the University of North Georgia’s (UNG) education abroad programs, including trips to Belize and Peru, through the Center for Global Engagement.
The tropical ecology in Belize program, which took place on the island of Tobacco Caye, is unique in that it was only offered to 16 upper-level biology majors and is taught entirely by UNG faculty. It is considered a great tool to prepare students for graduate programs or entering the marine sciences workforce.
“The program allows them to explore and learn about marine ecosystems not found in the U.S.,” Dr. Nancy Dalman, Biology Department head, said.
