Drexel University: Drexel in Equatorial Guinea: Biodiversity on Bioko Island

This Bioko Island Study Abroad Program takes place in the Spanish-speaking central African country of Equatorial Guinea and is built upon the long term academic partnership between Drexel University, the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program (BBPP), and the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE). The format of the program includes individual field research projects at the Moka Wildlife Center in the southern highlands of Bioko, coursework at UNGE in the capital city of Malabo, and additional fieldwork in the tropical forests, mountains, lakes and beaches of Bioko Island. To maintain the high level of individualized study, the program is offered once a year (January - March) to a class of six to ten students.

While all coursework on this program will be in English, the national language of Equatorial Guinea is Spanish, thus students are recommended, but not required, to have one year of university level Spanish.
