The Institute for Sustainable International Studies, ISIS Belize, offers a variety of conservation and environmental field courses in Belize, Central America, during the summer and winter breaks. The courses are held in the field, forests, sea and waterways of this incredible tropical country. Students will be able to experience and understand first-hand the wonders and challenges of different environments. All courses are intensive, delivering 3 credit hours over two weeks. Students can pair another course for a full four weeks studying abroad.
The courses offer students a chance to explore the rich cultural, social and environmental resources in the tropical, English-speaking setting of Belize. The ISIS field courses below are linked to our website, for schedules and syllabi:
