The University of Florida is offering several courses in Ecology & Conservation in the Tropics during 2013. The UF in Belize program offers students an opportunity to earn credit while studying throughout Belize. Students spend their days learning with UF and local faculty, professionals, and students. The majority of each day is spent in the field examining wildlife and natural resource ecology, conservation, and field methods in a diversity of ecosystems. The courses are open to UF and non-UF, undergraduate and graduate students. Specific courses (both graduate and undergraduate credit through UF) include
