The Haida Gwaii Semester is an intensive field study program for undergraduates. The program provides an immersion opportunity in a resource-dependent community facing economic transition, population decline, increasing local control of natural resources, and new decision-making frameworks.
A microcosm of the world, Haida Gwaii is a “natural” classroom for students to learn firsthand about the social, cultural, political, ecological and economic issues confronting natural resource managers around the globe, as well as strategies for building a sustainable future.
This term-long educational opportunity is offered by the Haida Gwaii Higher Education Society. It comprises five courses (CONS 350 through CONS 354) taken on-site in Haida Gwaii from January through April in any given year.
Interested students should visit the Haida Gwaii Higher Education Society website for details.
