The exchange also enrinches the perspective of classes at UM, where students from Australia, Britian, Israel, and Japan can describe the unique problems and approaches to their issues of environmental concern. The Marine Science Program has established a special affiliation with several Australian universities, including James Cook University , the Flinders University , University of Melbourne , and Murdock University . Students from the University of Miami may apply for junior year studies, while Australian students enroll in courses at the University of Miami. This program provides extensive field studies and a rewarding opportunity to participate in scholarly activities in an excellent University system. Because of the rigor of the Australian science curriculum, exchange students must have a 3.0 G.P.A. in order to qualify.
Students make application to the program during the spring semester of their freshman year.
