The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at East Carolina University, in cooperation with American
Universities International Programs (AUIP), invites you to apply for our unique
study abroad opportunities in the South Pacific. This year we are headed to Australia and Fiji. While there, we explore the dynamic
cultures and natural environments of the region, traveling extensively as a
group with Clemson University professors and local field experts.
- Credit is
available for up to 9 semester hours in RCLS (Sustaining Human Societies and
Natural Environments).
- The programs are suitable for students of all
backgrounds and majors.
- There are no prerequisites for the Study Abroad Australia and Fiji Programs.
- Students need a 2.0 GPA, and also need to have a record clear of major disciplinary issues.
Drs. Clifton Watts and Paige Schneider are leading the study abroad program. The program is supported by East Carolina University Study Abroad Programs, and has a Facebook site to help manage announcements and market the program. Study abroad programs are available to in-state and out-of-state students and rates reflect approximate costs for all students. Detailed information about the programs (descriptions, cost and application), can be found here.
NEW!!! Credit from our study abroad program may be applied to a Certificate in Global Learning, a Certificate in Global Learning with Distinction, or a Minor in International Studies as part of that degree's specialized concentration. Studies in Australia and Fiji focus on sustainable tourism and natural resource management issues. These two areas of focus can be classified under concentrations focusing on international environmental problems and population/demographic issues as described in the guidelines for the Minor in International Studies.
