Study Sustainability Abroad!

There are plenty of excellent study abroad opportunities if you're interested in sustainability. While there are many great study abroad options, we'd like to draw your attention to some that we think are especially interesting and relevant.

Your first stop is the Rowan Education Abroad office. They have the full listing of eligible study abroad programs for Rowan students. You'll also work with them to apply to programs, complete all the necessary forms for transfer credits, and so on. 

Though it can seem intimidating to go abroad for part of your college education, remember that it is an investment in yourself, your education, and your understanding of the world. In short, it's worth every penny (and most programs have financial aid!)

Sea Semester

(from their website) The global ocean covers nearly three-quarters of Earth, yet 90% is largely unexplored. It provides half of the oxygen in the atmosphere, regulates the planet’s climate, and delivers food security for the world’s population. However, threats such as climate change, marine pollution, habitat loss, and overfishing jeopardize its health and sustainability.

Humans depend upon the ocean. The future of the ocean depends upon you.

SEA Semester provides an experiential opportunity to gather firsthand knowledge that will influence students’ lifelong relationships with the ocean. As our society becomes more aware of how integral the oceans are to the planet, from climate patterns to energy production to the origins of life itself, we must also understand how to conserve these important resources. Moving beyond the textbook toward practical application, hands-on research, and personal experience, SEA Semester prepares students to take a more active role in solving today’s environmental problems.
