Located in an island nation northeast of Australia and New Zealand, this program examines the social, economic, and political impacts of globalization, westernization, and climate change in Oceania.

Students experience a breadth of Pacific Island life through two unique homestays in Amaile and Apia, Samoa, an orientation in Hawaii, and a nine day trip to Fiji.
