About Program
Dive deep into the unique marine ecology of Australia with this experiential summer study abroad program that travels throughout the country’s lush landscapes. Best suited for students with interests in biology and ecology, the 3-week summer study abroad program includes stays on islands located on the Great Barrier Reef – looking at how the various landscapes, including coastal and mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and corals reefs survive, thrive and interact with various populations and wildlife. Along with environmental issues and conservation efforts, students will also learn and experience aspects of traditional Aboriginal and modern Australian culture.
It looks like this program may not be available right now, but don’t worry, TEAN by WorldStrides has plenty of other amazing programs to check out!

Impact 🌎
Sustainability
Our Choose Earth initiative is our way of building environmental and social responsibility into the ethos and outcomes of education abroad. We believe that studying abroad should include learning about – and finding solutions to – our most challenging societal problems, such as sustainable development, climate change, biodiversity, resource use, habitat preservation, gender inequality and social injustice in a globalized world.
Ethical Impact
We are devoted to providing experiential learning opportunities abroad that help build the knowledge, skills and attitudes students need to become locally engaged, civically minded and globally responsible. We believe that studying abroad should include learning about – and finding solutions to – our most challenging societal problems, such as sustainable development, climate change, biodiversity, resource use, habitat preservation, gender inequality and social injustice in a globalized world.
