Authorized under the authority of the United States Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control, the program includes a comprehensive study of the interaction of business enterprises, government agencies and communities in the management of the environment. The students will also examine corporate policy, strategy and culture in the development of an environmental management plan. Their courses include orientation, Spanish, scientific diving, marine ecology and Cuba: history, politics and society. While in Cuba, they will have an opportunity to learn more about the island, its people and its natural environment.
