The interdisciplinary TIERA program is for undergraduate students from all disciplines who are concerned about the environment and looking for a way to make a difference. Our two-week summer field courses embed students in a community-led conservation program led by FCAT, an award-winning Ecuadorian conservation NGO. Students work closely with highly experienced locals and university faculty on research projects linked to FCAT’s real world conservation programs, like monitoring reforestation outcomes, developing ecotourism ventures, protecting endangered species, and improving food and water security. These linkages between scholarship and conservation outcomes make TIERA a unique experiential learning experience for students who are passionate about environmental justice.
