Tulane Interdisciplinary Environmental Research & Action Program Summer Field Course in Ecuador

The interdisciplinary TIERA program is for students from all disciplines who are concerned about the environment and looking for a way to make a difference. Our two-week summer field courses embed students in an award-winning, community-led conservation program led by FCAT, an Ecuadorian conservation NGO. Students work closely with highly experienced locals on research projects linked to FCAT’s real world conservation programs, like monitoring reforestation outcomes, developing ecotourism ventures, protecting endangered species, and improving food and water security. These linkages between scholarship and conservation outcomes make TIERA a unique experiential learning experience for students who are passionate about environmental justice. Course credit is provided by Tulane University and scholarships are available. Apply here and stay up-to-date with the TIERA program here.
