Why Study in Central America?

Central America stretches from the Mexican border to the top of Colombia. It's home to around 44.5 million people, and countless species of wildlife and fauna. This one relatively small strip of land plays host 7% of the planet's biodiversity, while the Belize Barrier Reef is officially one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Described by Charles Darwin as "the most remarkable reef in the West Indies,” the Belize Barrier Reef is where you'll find 70 coral species, 500 types of fish, and hundreds more invertebrate species. What's more, experts think 90% of the barrier's inhabitants have yet to be discovered. Central America is also the location of some of the world's most ancient human-made wonders, including temples constructed by Mayan and Aztec civilizations over 3,000 years ago.
