GEOG 328B, The Geography of the Caribbean, is a 3-credit, short-term, faculty accompanied, Study Abroad program. It is the product of the joint efforts of the University of Maryland’s Department of Geographical Sciences and the University’s Education Abroad Department.

Islands visited are, for the most part, non-tourist islands.
The class is led by Professor Joseph Trocino, a Lecturer within the Department of Geographical Sciences.
The Teaching Assistant for 2013 will be Claire Weber, a veteran of two classes.
The 2014 class will be the 8th year for this popular program. Over 100 students from the University of Maryland and other colleges and universities have benefited from this study abroad experience.
