The University of Costa Rica is currently sponsoring a semester
long program in environmental science for English speaking
undergraduates.
Through this educational program we bring students into the
Costa Rican rain forest, where the broad spectrum of biodiversity is
easily accessible, where the social and political climate is safe,
where the foundation of knowledge is far greater than any other tropical
environment and where the level of professional instruction provided at
the University of Costa Rica is superior. This program is provided in
English so as to lift a language barrier that has kept most of the
world’s biology students from studying in this tropical region. It is
provided to undergraduate students after their first semester of biology
so that all students will be able to transfer credits as science or
elective requirements, thereby conserving their vital educational
resources. It is provided by the University of Costa Rica to keep costs
down while maintaining academic excellence. Additionally, as an
undergraduate group studying principals and practices of field research,
they will be able to participate in long term research and data
collection studies which will continue with each subsequent group until
the body of knowledge, collected and analyzed, bears the fruit of
discovery.
