A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Indiana University offers many partnership programs with countries overseas that incorporate semester abroad experiences, or a split class where half the term is held at IU and the other half in a chosen country.
Examples of partnership programs that are sustainability focused include: an Environmental Studies Summer Program in China that examines the environmental issues China and Southeast Asia currently face (https://iabroad.iu.edu/istart/controllers/ovst/InquiryEngine.cfm?serviceid=ProgramSearchProvider), a sustainable agriculture and service learning course in Jamaica, an Environmental Studies and Sustainability program in Freiburg, Germany (http://www.iesabroad.org/study-abroad/programs/freiburg-environmental-studies-sustainability), and a program in Quito, Ecuador exploring the ecological diversity in the Amazon Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands (http://www.iesabroad.org/study-abroad/quito). Many SPEA study abroad programs offer sustainability focused programs focused on conservation and sustainability management in the Caribbean, environmental management in South Africa, and development in Uganda (https://spea.indiana.edu/student-experience/overseas/summer/index.html).
Additionally, many IU Alternative Spring Break experiences focus on sustainability themes. https://studentaffairs.indiana.edu/student-life-learning/community-engagement/alternative-break/experiences.shtml
