Earn credit in Abnormal Psychology (CLP 2140) and Tropical Ecology (BSC 2365) this summer while studying abroad in Honduras!

Hi, I am Sara Brzezinski, and I am one of the faculty members who will be leading an interdisciplinary trip to Honduras summer 2018. Our program includes a variety of different activities and adventures. I will be offering Abnormal Psychology and Dr. Jim Wallis will be offering Tropical Ecology as the second course you can choose to take. We have an amazing program with once of a lifetime opportunities planned for you!

For my class, you will engage in various activities that will allow you to observe and experience mental health in Latin America and examine how these compare the to practices in the United States.  You will have the opportunity to visit a variety of different mental health and educational organizations that serve the needs of a variety of populations.  The program also includes service learning projects that many students state are life changing opportunities for them.  The program offers you a glimpse into the field of mental health in a format unlike any other.  If you are planning on going into the field of psychology, medicine, social work, public health, etc., this is an excellent program for you!  This is also a great addition to resumes/CVs, undergraduate transfer applications, and graduate school applications.

Professor Wallis’s course in Tropical Ecology will introduce participants to the rainforest-associated systems of Central America and their ecology through lectures, labs, and discovery-oriented investigative experiences of rainforest, wetlands, estuaries, and coastal environments of Honduras. Several topics will be covered in depth. These include (but are not limited to): the general ecology of Honduras, ecology of rainforests and rainforest-associated habitats, identification of rainforest fauna and flora, marine ecology, coastal ecology, identification of vertebrates, invertebrates and tropical plants, and human interactions with natural systems and their impacts.
