Goals
Keio University (Japan) wanted their students to take an interdisciplinary short course with a capstone experience with UW undergraduate students.

Solution
Bring 30-35 students each summer to a field study program in collaboration with the UW Program on the Environment (PoE). UW students provide guidance and participate with Keio students in a project. Both Keio and UW students receive credit at their respective universities.
