About Grenada
A Country Worth Studying
Grenada — the Spice Isle — is a tri-island state of remarkable density: nutmeg, cocoa, coral reefs, volcanic peaks, and Carib heritage compressed into 344 square kilometres of Eastern Caribbean.
Comprising Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique, the nation lies at the southern tip of the Windward Islands. The capital St. George's is widely regarded as the most picturesque harbour city in the Caribbean.
Why the Department Chose Grenada
Academic Rationale
Grenada was selected because it embodies sustainable tourism on a defensible scale. Small enough to study end-to-end, ambitious enough to lead the Caribbean on Marine Protected Areas, organic agriculture, and community-rooted hospitality. The ideal classroom for studying islands as systems.
