Study abroad in Australia 🌏 Meet April, a junior majoring in environmental science and minoring in education studies here at Skidmore. Last semester, April studied abroad in Australia at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Queensland. On the program, April said: "As a new program to Skidmore, it really stood out to me because it is uniquely excursion-based! The two main courses (Terrestrial Ecology and Marine Ecology) have four, week-long research-based trips.
