style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">IOI offers a study abroad
semester in marine related
sciences and their human dimensions for most majors that is as unique
as the
archipelago itself: The semester is a series of five consecutive block
seminars, each taught on a daily bases (16 hrs student/prof interaction
per
week) and worth three credits. Our unique educational approach will
take the
class room to the field to experience the wonders of these islands from
penguins to iguanas, from sharks to tortoises, from Darwin’s finches to
blue footed boobies, from salt marshes and beaches to volcano peeks –
all
hands on.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
