    • Culture-Centered Communication and Engagement
    • Youth Engagement in Agriculture
    • Food Production, Culture and the EnvironmentThe program is coordinated through ENSAT (Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Toulouse), which is the National Institute of Agronomy in France. Faculty from ENSAT lead lectures and field trips (taught in English) covering: Dairy and Poultry Production, Biotechnology, Horticulture, Agricultural Economics and Policy, Geomatics, and Winemaking. In addition, there are daily lectures on French language and survival skills, culture and history. Visit the website.
    • The Grand Tour: Art and GardensGain appreciation for the art, literature, history, politics, economics, religion, and topography that shaped the art and gardens of The Grand Tour sites.

    • Tropical Entomology in Ecuador and the GalápagosThis more-than-two-week short summer session, offered by UGA’s Department of Entomology, allows students to collect samples and photographs of tropical insects while exploring the jungle. Each morning and evening students will hike through various locations on the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador, a tropical country on the equator. The climate and location of the Galápagos Islands provides the perfect environment that led to the development of the Island’s vast and unique plant and animal life. Students of this program have the opportunity to observe a rare example of how biogeographic, evolutionary and ecological influences constituted the flora and fauna of this region. Visit the website.
    • International Agribusiness in Diversified Livestock and Grain ProductionVisit a diverse group of livestock, grain and other agribusinesses during this intense and fun-filled, nine day trip to Uruguay. A sampling of the destinations include: large cow-calf and sheep ranches, grass-fed and organic beef and lamb operations, pasture-based dairies, organic vineyards, organic fruit and vegetable producers, large grain and oilseed producers, international grain-merchandisers and several other firms that you probably won’t find in Georgia.

    • Viticulture and EnologyThere’s more to wine than choosing the right bottle. Spend your Maymester mastering its finer aspects; and learn about its production, health implications, cultivation and economic impact on Cortona, Italy. Students will stay in a renovated 15th century monastery in the heart of Italian wine culture and share dinners at a local family-run restaurant. Visit the website.

  • Conquering Rome

    June 14, 2017

    When I think about my study abroad experience, I think about Rome. The fourth day of the Art and Gardens Grand Tour, our second day in Rome, was one of the most eventful and memorable days of my life. It began with a class walk and lecture from the hotel to the Piazza del Popolo,…

    June 14, 2017

    Whenever I spoke to someone about their study abroad experience to Costa Rica, everyone’s first response was “the food is amazing!” then followed with “and the campus was really incredible!” When I first looked into the UGA Avian Biology Maymester program, I assumed our program would remain on the UGA satellite campus and do day-trips…

    Hello! My name is Annika Jonker, and I have the incredible opportunity of attending UGA’s Avian Biology study abroad program May 8th – which is only days away!

    June 13, 2017

    My trip to Cortona, Italy was not only my first UGA study abroad trip, it was also my first time going abroad in general. Before this trip, it had been 8+ years since I had even been on an airplane, and I have never flown for more than two hours at a time. To say…

  • When in…Italy

    June 13, 2017

    My viticulture/enology class began our first full day in Cortona. The lectures in the class were all interesting and, for the most part, easy to follow. The bulk of the first week focused on the plants themselves and the diseases they faced. As a pathology major, this section interested me the most. However, after the…
