Program dates are tentative and subject to change

Students will travel to Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. We will spend 3-4 days each exploring the rainforest along the eastern coast of Madagascar and the spiny forest in southwestern Madagascar. There will be an in-country flight from Antananarivo to Toliara as we move between the rainforest and spiny forest regions. The trip will include guided hikes in national parks and private nature reserves where students will learn about the natural history, plants, and wildlife of these contrasting forest types.

3 credits NREM 4960A during the Spring semester.

This program was last offered in 2025.

Important Note Regarding Missing Classes
Please note that participation on some travel courses require you to be away from campus for some school days. The College of Agriculture & Life Sciences tries to minimize the number of days missed for this purpose, but in some events, the inflexibility of the travel schedule prevents us from working completely within our breaks. Should you choose to enroll in a travel course that requires missing some class(es) on campus, you will need to contact your instructor directly to inquire whether or not arrangements can be made to make up this class work and/or exams. The CALS �� office can provide you with a letter explaining the dates of the trip. However, it is your responsibility to contact the instructor to determine the potential impact on your grade before signing up for a �� program. The instructor is responsible for determining the impact of any absence from class.
