UGA Discover Abroad

Discover Abroad provides students with an engaging and experiential educational-travel opportunity to some of the world’s most dramatic places. We focus on broad questions of how humans interact with the natural environment, with a view to understanding how we may live more sustainably. The programs are generally 25% classroom and 75% field-based with extensive travel to experience as much of the destination as possible. Our programs also provide unique opportunities for students to develop a relationship with special places around the globe. This is very different than simply being educational tourists – our goal is for you to experience a place through nurturing an intimate relationship with its people and the environment. Consequently, we combine field activities with multiple forms of instruction that together help foster your professional and personal development.
