INTERNSHIP & STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS
WE ARE THE CENTER FOR ENGAGED LEARNING ABROAD
At CELA Belize, we provide a wide variety of experiential learning programs focused on animal science, wildlife conservation, nursing, and other facets of One Health!
We love sharing the wonders of Belize while providing educational services to students. We are thrilled to see the sense of awe when students experience new knowledge first hand through their field work and community services. Belize challenges students to move outside their comfort zones. Watching a student grow personally with a new view of the world makes us feel CELA Belize has accomplished something worthwhile.
