Friday Harbor is a UW satellite campus nestled in the San Juan islands that offers an ideal, idyllic break from the city. It’s a place where students can take a full-quarter’s worth of classes (12-17 credits) amidst beautiful woods and water. Read, write, and explore the sea and the seashore through literature, creative writing, marine biology, and fisheries courses that take full advantage of the San Juan Island setting. What better place to read Moby Dick and other works of seafaring literature, or to take a marine biology course where you can actually interact with the marine life you’re studying? Whether you consider yourself a poet, prose writer, avid reader, marine biologist, or none of these (yet!), a quarter at Friday Harbor is an incredible experience unlike anything you’ve ever had – or may ever again get to have.
The program costs include EVERYTHING: tuition (12-17 credits), fees, materials and supplies, room, and three delicious meals a day.
Check out the website for details and testimonials from English majors who’ve attended in the past: http://depts.washington.edu/engl/cw/poetryfh13.php, or email Sierra Nelson (songsforsquid@gmail.com) for more information. Hope to see you at the harbor!

Description: Learn about this great opportunity to study abroad during Autumn 2013 on the program International Studies India: Environment & Development in the India Himalayas. The program is a twelve week opportunity for UW students to stay and live in the Kumaun Himalaya in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The academic focus of the program examines the political economy of development in India and considers the dynamics of formal and informal labor, environmental change, and integrated rural development. The Kumaun Himalayan region provides a unique perspective to examine accelerated economic and environmental change in relation to the regional, national and international contexts driving this change. Students draw on this academic framework to immerse themselves in an internship with our host organization, the Central Himalayan Rural Action Group (CHIRAG).
