The African Ecology and Conservation semester study abroad program centers on learning to do quality field research in South Africa’s varied biomes. South Africa is a diverse and dynamic nation that continues to redefine itself in the post-apartheid era. It has strong tradition of environmental protection, which has resulted in the creation of many protected areas that offer excellent research opportunities for students.
