About

Explore Mediterranean islands and wind through the Adriatic archipelagos in search of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles. Work alongside marine conservation professionals as they study population ecology, community behavior, and practice rescue and rehabilitation actions on these animals. The Center for the Conservation of Marine Megafauna program takes place in the Croatian archipelagos of the Eastern Adriatic coast. Consisting of 1,244 islands, islets, and reefs, the Croatian coast is one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. The Adriatic Sea is a hotspot for biodiversity, and one of the regions of the Mediterranean most affected by climate change. Course fieldwork focuses on issues such as spatial and population ecology of marine megafauna, human dimensions of conservation, and veterinary sciences.

Diversity Scholarship

SFS seeks to broaden and strengthen the participation of traditionally underrepresented minority students in all of its programs. The SFS Diversity Scholarship is one of the ways we broaden the participation of underrepresented groups of students in study abroad. For SFS, underrepresented groups include, but are not limited to, students who identify with a certain race, sex, color, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, age, marital status, national origin or ancestry, ethnic origin, or veteran status. Underrepresented groups also include first generation college students and students from low income families.
