Yes
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
On the forested shore of Lake Villarrica in Chile, investigate sustainable development and conservation. In the land of the indigenous Mapuche people, there is awe-inspiring beauty everywhere—and it demands preservation. Following two weeks of Spanish language study in Santiago, you will head south to Villarrica for classes and field study. In addition to courses on ecological conservation and environmental planning, you’ll learn field methods to support your research project. Travel to national parks and stay in a natural retreat area to work on your project. Program field trips, a core of the curriculum, are physically rigorous, introduce new environmental settings, and expand your understanding of the Villarrica community.
