Description
The Las Nubes Program will offer students a richly experiential education living and studying in smallholder farming communities in a southern Costa Rica conservation region, the Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor (ASBC). Incorporating courses open to students in the Lassonde School of Engineering鈥檚 Environmental Engineering program as well as the Faculty of Health鈥檚 Global Health program, the Semester Abroad will be a unique offering for Ontario students, as no other university in Ontario has an overseas campus specifically for its own students. Eventually, 91亚色鈥檚 eco-campus will be truly distinctive: a place where 91亚色 students can take 91亚色 classes taught by 91亚色 professors, immersing themselves in a new cultural, social and ecological setting replete with opportunities for engaged and practical forms of learning.
