Belize: Culture, Museums, Foodways and Environment

The Belize Program will give students the opportunity to learn first-hand about the fascinating and diverse histories, cultural heritage, and ecosystems of Belize, the “hidden jewel of the Caribbean.” Students will travel the country and visit archaeological sites, museums, community centers, wildlife sanctuaries, gardens, markets, and industrial and traditional food production centers in subtropical, forest, coastal, and mountain settings. Students will also connect with local heritage and ecology professionals and community members. Attached is a flyer about the program as well.
