This photographic tour should provide you with an overview of many of the activities in which our students participate as part of the Baja California Field Studies Program courses.  The photographs also show some of the biodiversity that our students are exposed to. The great majority of the photographs that you are about to view were taken by previous students, who participated in some of the courses offered by the program.  These photographs cannot be used without permission by their authors or the Baja California Field Studies Program of Glendale Community College.
