This program is offered at a field station in the community of Atenas, located
along the Rio Grande River in the Central Valley. Students enroll in four courses,
each of which includes extensive field study and makes use of guest lecturers
and opportunities to interact with the host community. The program provides
environmental studies majors who wish to focus on policy issues with an opportunity
to study the challenges that developing countries face as they attempt to increase
prosperity while striving for levels of sustainable development that preserve
natural resources. For more information: The School for Field Studies
