Global Education
Our course dives into Darwin’s life and explores how his theory came to life. Over spring break, you’re off to the UK to bring what you've been learning in class to life! "I had a great time. It was so cool to get to actually see the real places that we studied in class, and I feel like I learned so much more than I would have if I had just taken a normal class on this topic."
