This week I decided to go on the Economics 288 spring term class going to Belize. W&L’s spring term is a four week long course at the end of the year. Since I have chosen not to study abroad for a whole semester, this gives me the opportunity to still study abroad. For this course we will be spending the first part of spring term in lexington taking classes, nine days in Belize, and then return to lexington for the end of spring term. In Belize we will be snorkeling and interactively learning about the environment. The class will focus on the effect of the tourist industry on economics in Belize. Other than economics, environmental studies will also be a focus for the course. I am looking forward to learning about this branch of economics and especially in such a beautiful place!
