Sea Turtle Internships for College Credit
We are the only non-profit organization that creates affordable, customized, individual sea turtle research internship packages for U.S. undergraduate and graduate science students.
.
We go to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, or Brazil and interns earn at least 6 units of credit. You can work at a sea turtle research center on the beach or in a lab, collect data in the field for your paper, and immerse yourself in the local Latin culture.
The Science Exchange was nominated as a finalist in the Earth 8 EcoAmbassador contest!
