SIT Study Abroad: Ecuador: Comparative Ecology and Conservation

You will live like a biologist as you explore the Amazon basin, the Andes, cloud forests, Pacific Ocean coastline, and the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador—unique climatic niches that harbor ecological treasures and a wealth of flora and fauna. Within these diverse and vulnerable settings, you will conduct fieldwork and live with homestay families in Quito and the rural cloud forest. Excursions include the Andean páramo, the Amazon, and a week in the Galápagos Islands

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.


EARN A MINOR

SIT's program in Ecuador offers the choice to do a minor in environmental science or conservation biology. You’ll develop practical skills in biological fieldwork, biodiversity assessment, and apply environmental research methods across Ecuador's four distinct ecosystems—from the Amazon rainforest to the Galápagos Islands—to contribute to conservation solutions in one of the world's most biodiverse countries.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"Our classes were purposeful, but engaging. Excursions were the highlight, and classes during these portions consisted of long, leisurely hikes or snorkeling multiple times a day. Learning was fun. Our more traditional classes in the city were also engaging, with many breakouts into small-groups or with guest lecturers from a variety of fields. This program gave me so much I would not have had at my university. It was extremely hands-on, comprehensive, taught me how to do independent research, and provided me connections I still maintain."
