C.E.L.A. Belize
The Center for Engaged Learning Abroad (CELA) seeks to make their unique study abroad and internship opportunities available to a diverse group of students, especially those who have been traditionally underrepresented in international education programs. They strive to ensure that all students feel welcome and that they engage in practices that break down barriers to participation in study abroad.
CELA values the contributions of each individual and supports a diverse community of students, staff, and faculty. They seek to provide every student with equity of access to the full resources of each of their academic travel programs. They provide resources and training for staff and faculty so that they can adequately support and validate student experiences or connect students with the resources that they need to feel supported.
CELA understands that because of preexisting advantages and barriers, not everyone has the same access to international experiential education. They strive to ensure that each individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion, economic status, sexual orientation, ability, or the intersection of these identities, is provided with the same opportunity to participate and thrive in their study abroad and internship programs.
Some of their study abroad programs include:
- Tropical Marine Ecology and Conservation https://celabelize.com/tropical-marine-ecology/
- One Health: Public Health in the Tropics https://celabelize.com/one-health/
- Large Animal Veterinary Practice in the Tropics https://celabelize.com/large-animal-tropics/
- Wildlife Health, Ecology, and Conservation https://celabelize.com/wildlife-health-conservation/

Loop Abroad
Loop Abroad is a student travel organization that began with a singular mission: provide the best hands-on study abroad for students pursuing careers working with animals.
They've done this by partnering with world-renowned conservationists in their efforts to protect endangered animals. While their programs and geography have expanded, they remain committed to global animal welfare. Read why we don’t ride elephants.
Loop Abroad's mission is to make a positive impact on animal welfare and marine and wildlife conservation around the world by partnering with responsible, local organizations to support them in their efforts while at the same time offering their students unprecedented opportunities for hands-on learning across all programs.
Unlike “voluntourism” programs, Loop Abroad programs follow a study abroad model. Students travel to learn from others and to become better-educated individuals who can give back in their professional careers and work across cultures.
Moreover, they are proud to offer a wide range of ethical and responsible travel programs to students who share their commitment to furthering the cause for animal welfare, biodiversity, and respect for all living things.
As we pursue our mission, they strive to follow the Standards of Good Practice set out by the Forum on Education Abroad, which is recognized as the US Standards Development Organization for the field.
Some of their pre-veterinary opportunities include:
- Big Cat Research Week in Indiana, United States
- Egypt Pre-Vet Equine Medicine
- Thailand College Pre-Vet Medicine
- Costa Rica Pre-Vet Clinical Wildlife
- Australia Pre-Vet Wildlife Medicine
...and more!
