Tropical Eco-Sustainability: BELIZE Study Abroad

As you seek to expose your students to unique experiences in the tropical less developed world, we appreciate the wide array of choices available to you. Yet, we believe that our TROPECOSE facilities and experience close-by in Belize offer you the  maximum efficiency in the expenditure of your time and money. We therefore invite you to consider TROPECOSE in Belize for your next Study Abroad experience for students and faculty in disciplines related to Food, Culture, Ecology and Sustainability. Below are answers to some of your questions

Why Belize ?

·      Proximity: About 2 hours flight from Houston, or Miami, so you spend more time learning and less time traveling. Compare this to other

 study abroad destinations where a good proportion of your time is spent on simply getting there!

·      Easy Communication and comprehension: English is the official language. No need to spend some of your time getting up to speed in the language. You can spend all your time on the subject matter. Student learning is maximized because they can immediately comprehend local literature, explanations, signs and people

·      Tropical Environment: Squarely located in the tropics, Belize offers a tropical environment that is distinctly different from anything existing in North America. This means that the students get exposed to unfamiliar flora, fauna, agriculture, foods architecture and any other form of human expression that is environment-dependent.

·       Less-developed country: With its less-developed status, Belize offers a unique case study of the prospects and problems of the majority of humanity that live in less developed countries

Dear Eco-Sustainability Professor,

Choosing your Study Abroad destination from nearly two hundred countries on earth can be a daunting task. Nor should not be left to chance. The flyer on the back side of this sheet invites you to consider our unique TROPECOSE program which we have tailored to address the major constraints of time and money that often scare professors from undertaking Study Abroad programs. Our program is also uniquely designed for the academic disciplines that operate at the nexus of Sustainability, Ecology, Food, and the Environment. In contrast to language skill acquisition programs, we save you time by taking you directly to a country where the official language is English. Rather than waste your limited time trying to get up to speed on language, you and your students are ready to immerse yourselves in the local people, culture, food and environment as soon as you step off the plane. The fact that Belize is about two hours flying time from Houston and Miami (which have daily direct flights) also means you spend less your limited time traveling and more time learning. All this translates into cost savings.

Please consider coming to our TROPECOSE program in Belize. It gives you a microcosm of the Tropical, Less-developed world almost at your doorstep. Our program has been designed with inputs from your colleague professors in academia. We can work with you to customize your experience from the extensive options that we offer as listed overleaf. You and your students will surely be delighted.
