Travel Abroad

VTVLC Students can travel abroad to exciting locations like Bermuda or Honduras through VTVLC’s Marine Biology course! Marine Biology is designed to inspire young adults to understand and care about the ocean with authentic activities that contribute to the community and nature and involve students with organizations outside the school.

This was an extremely amazing opportunity that has developed and been perfected over the years. It was an awesome trip with enjoyable classwork that caused students to think deeper. I thoroughly enjoyed the way this class helped me better understand the wide variety of opportunities within the field of marine biology. We had multiple engaging guest speakers who taught us all about their career paths and experiences within higher education. This helped me better understand my opportunities in the future. I also really enjoyed all the time we had in the water on our trip to Bermuda. It was amazing to see all the life interacting and to be amongst the captivating creatures. My favorite part of the trip was the night snorkeling. I loved only having a flashlight to illuminate the path ahead.
