• Study Abroad/Extended Study Programs
The geography department co-sponsors a semester long study group to the University of Wollongong, Australia.
Students who opt to participate in this program have the opportunity to work with both Colgate and UoW faculty to explore geographic and environmental issues within the context of Australia, and to consider those issues during field trips throughout the country.
There is also a student exchange program with the University of Wollongong that allows select Colgate and Wollongong students to pursue comparative research in American and Australian contexts.
Exchange students work directly with Colgate and UoW faculty to produce research which is worthy of professional publication in both social and environmental geography.
