The NS Resource Guide!!
The Global Education Office has developed a Study Abroad Resource Guide for Natural Science students. It includes Hampshire Exchange programs, various field study programs, Jan-Term programs, and students' experience reports. Come into the office to check it out and talk to us about studying abroad!!


**Hampshire Exchange Program: Woods Hole**

Woods Hole is a marine, biomedical, and environmental science research 
facility in Falmouth, MA. Students can participate in an environmental 
science program with the Ecosystems Center or a semester at sea on a 
134-foot brigantine, during which time they can design their own 
research project. There are also interesting summer and semester-long 
fellowships available for students who wish to conduct more personalized 
research! Woods Hole is a dynamic scientific community, and has a rich 
history as such. Come explore the depths of the sea with other 
scientists! For more information come into the GEO to chat or visit the 
Woods Hole website! <http://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=7122>

**Field Study Program Provider: The School for Field Studies**

The SFS offers a variety of programs focused on environmental sciences. 
Students can travel to Australia for Tropical Rainforest studies, to 
Costa Rica for Sustainable Development studies, to Turks & Caicos for 
Marine Resource Management, to Kenya for Wildlife Management studies, or 
to Mexico for Conserving Marine Mammals and Coastal Ecosystems. Though 
Students will be in the field, they will receive credit for 4 or 5 
classes (depending on which program) through Boston University. For more
