SPU Department of Biology Tropical Studies Program

We offer trips to the tropics over Christmas Break each year. These courses are generally 3-5 credits, and can be taken by biology majors and minors as upper division biology credits, or for general education credit (BIO 1100, NSA requirement) by nonmajors.

In odd numbered years, we go to Belize. In even numbered years, we go to the Galapagos Islands. Information, including applications for tropical biology study programs, are located at SPU's Study Abroad website.
