Hawai'i
Study Abroad
This short-term program introduces students to the history of the annexation of Hawai’i as a territory to the United States and the debates that surrounded it. Through dialogue and meetings with indigenous activists, community groups and student organizations at the University of Hawai’i, students will learn about the historical legacies of American imperialism in the Caribbean and the Pacific. They also will study the global relationships among indigenous people in these nations and the migrants who continue to come to Hawai’i in search of work and opportunities.

Yellowstone
Study Abroad
This short-term program focuses on the interrelationship between public policy, human values, science and nature as displayed through environmental policy governing our national parks. The program is interdisciplinary because understanding environmental policy and natural resource management requires an integrated approach drawing on both social and natural sciences. Students will visit both parks and meet with scientists, rangers, interest groups, government officials and local nonprofit groups to gather information on competing viewpoints and policy issues.
