Study Biodiversity in Equatorial Guinea

This program takes place in the Spanish-speaking central African country of Equatorial Guinea, and is built upon the academic partnership between Drexel, the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program (BBPP), and the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE). The format includes individual field research at the Moka Wildlife Center, coursework at UNGE in the city of Malabo, and additional fieldwork on the island. The program is offered twice a year, mid-September to mid-December, and early January until mid-March.
The courses offered are designed to reflect the realities of biodiversity conservation and sustainability in developing countries. Students take all 5 courses for a total of 15 semester credits. There are opportunities for service learning, especially teaching English as a Second Language, as well as volunteering in local schools, clinics and at BBPP's Moka Wildlife Center.
