Global Network: Costa Rica
Overview
Live and learn in Monteverde, Costa Rica – a city that has been at the forefront of field study in environmental protection since the 1960s when it began attracting scientists to marvel at its biodiversity. As a student here, you will have the opportunity to explore ways to protect its future, live more sustainably, and educate others to do the same. Learn from instructors in courses across various subject areas, including Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), Spanish, and more.
See close up how alternative energy makes Costa Rica largely independent of fossil fuels and participate on optional projects, including internships, research, and service-learning. Explore beyond Monteverde when you visit Costa Rica’s mangroves, lowland rainforest, dry forest, and other fascinating natural habitats.
