Amazon Expedition: Frequently Asked Questions
When will we go to the Amazon?
Tentatively, we leave Dayton Saturday November 29, 2008, and return Saturday December 13, 2008. We will actually be in the Amazon itself December 1 - December 12.
Is this a fall course or an intersession course?
Both. There is a 1-credit pre-requisite course taught in the fall. The intersession course is 4 credits.
How much will the trip cost?
In addition to tuition, the cost of your passport, and medically-necessary expenses (like a yellow fever vaccination, anti-malarial pills, and emergency antibiotics), the trip will cost somewhere between $1900 and $2000. We cannot be more specific at this time because we do not know what the price of oil will be in November. The price of oil will affect the cost of our flights and transportation in Ecuador.
Is the course just open to biology majors?
No. We are reserving some slots for non-majors, and some slots for graduate students in biology.
