Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that is one week or more in length?:
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Study conservation and eco-tourism, and earn activity credits in hiking and backpacking! This Faculty-Led Program offers multiple activity courses for study and analysis, including the topics of conservation, preservation, hiking, activity, and culture.
Costa Rica is the perfect example of a Latin American country that has focused its economy on recreation and tourism while protecting its natural resources with great success. How have they put these principles into practice through focused activity-based tourism? We will contrast this with activity tourism in the USA. This course is open to all majors and especially for any that need activity classes!
