West Indies Spring Study Abroad Program

The West Indies Study Abroad Program offers a 3-week overseas academic adventure on the exotic tropical islands of Trinidad & Tobago. The program provides an opportunity for students to increase their cross-cultural awareness, understanding and appreciation for the way of life in the Caribbean. Students study crime and justice from an international, comparative perspective and examine public policy issues.

The Maymester includes course work in comparative law and criminal justice, guest lectures from local experts, tours of local criminal justice agencies, service learning projects in the community, and field excursions to cultural and historical sites. Classes are typically held in the mornings, and the afternoons/weekends are reserved for exploring the islands. While abroad, students immerse themselves in the Caribbean culture, rich history, breathtaking natural landscape, and tasty cuisine.
