Coral Reef Biology & Ecology Program
RIMS, Roatan Island, Honduras
BIO 2850: Coral Reef Biology & Ecology
BIO 3850: Coral Reef Biology & Ecology

Coral reefs are among the largest, most impressive, most beautiful, and most endangered ecosystems on earth. One of the world's most impressive coral reef systems is found in the western Caribbean, along the coast of Central America, and one of the most accessible parts of this reef is found close to shore on the island of Roatan, the largest of the three Bay Islands, about 30 miles off the coast of Honduras.

Hands-on, experiential educational opportunity; An alternative to the usual on-campus course and total-immersion in the subject and environment.

Study the biology and ecology of the living reef and live organisms, rather than learning about them from books and pictures; learn about the organisms that form the reef and live on it. Experience an entire ecosystem firsthand – the living coral reef. Immerse yourself in the environment and culture of a tropical Caribbean island.

This program requires scuba diving, which can be learned in advance or as part of the program in Roatan.
