In the Department of Horticultural Sciences, we are offering a Study Abroad Program titled: Sustainability in Emerging Countries: Oaxaca Mexico
Trip dates: May 19-28, 2019
This 3-credit program is focused on sustainability in Oaxaca Mexico. Sustainability is comprised of five different components: the increase in production, efficient use of non-renewable resources, ecological stewardship, economic improvement, and increase in quality of life. Oaxaca is classified as one of the top Mexican states in ecological, agricultural, cultural, and culinary diversity. During this program, students will visit several locations in the state including the capital city, small towns, and villages, and the Pacific coast. Students will learn the differences in culture, ecosystem, agriculture, and economics between the USA and an emerging country such as México by exploring one of the most diverse states.
