The seminars are specially designed for the program and are taught by a carefully selected British and American faculty. All seminars take place in the mornings, and on teaching days these are supplemented by plenary lectures by distinguished British academics. The program also includes workshops and recitals keyed to the subjects being studied. The program is so structured that all teaching for the week usually ends before lunch on Thursdays, allowing students the opportunity to travel independently over the long weekends, and many students travel extensively on their own either before or after the program. The program is located at the Institute of Marine Sciences, Roatan Island, Honduras.
Students stay in four-person cabins and three sumptuous meals are served daily.
Students enroll in the first two courses of this program during the Spring Semester on campus and receive either upper-level Biology course credit or Natural Science credit. Service Learning in Honduras Students study the process of rural transformation associated with the collaborative efforts of a Northern non-governmental organization, Heifer Project International, and its Honduran counterpart, the Christian Commission for Development. Students are provided with an in-depth educational experience in a developing country. Service is an integral part of the program. Students spend time on a rural demonstration farm, visiting the capital, Tegucigalpa, and living with families in a community.
